parrots,those life spance is no longer than 20 year....
is the use of the term "no longer" correct in this sentence?
or is there any other mistakes in this sentence?
thx.
There are several spelling and word choice errors, an error of fact, AND it is not a sentence.
spance should be span
those should be whose
year should be years
"no longer" is factually incorrect. Parrots typically live 30 to 50 yeaqrs.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. The life span will depend upon what kind of parrot you have. On the following chart there are 3 parrots, one with a life span of 15 years, another of 36 and still another at 80.

In terms of the sentence structure, there are a few mistakes in the given sentence. Firstly, the word "spance" should be replaced with "span" to refer to the lifespan of parrots. Secondly, instead of "those," you should use "whose" to indicate possession. Lastly, "year" should be pluralized to "years" since we are referring to the lifespan of parrots.
However, the biggest mistake in the sentence is the claim that the lifespan of parrots is no longer than 20 years. This is factually incorrect. While there are variations among different species of parrots, their average lifespan ranges from 30 to 50 years. Some species can even live up to 80 years or more.
To ensure the accuracy of information, it is important to consult reliable sources. One such source is the following chart that provides information on the lifespan of different parrot species:
