Need help with grammar corrections...?
I need to find 10 problems with the following paragraph, I can only find 8. If I don't my cute cuddly little sister will get kicked out of school. JK. --------------------------------------... A four-horse chariot race became part of the ancient Olympics in greece. The race proved to be so popular that they became the opening spectacle at the games. As many as forty chariot drivers competing in the race. Each chariot driver were hired by the owner of the chariot and horses. Sometimes an owner enter as many as seven chariots in the same race. The competitors has to run laps down a straight track for a total distance of nearly nine miles. When the four horses pulling a chariot turned around to double back down the track. The chariot would swing wildly. As Phaethon discovered when he tried to drive the sun god's chariot, the horses were very hard to control. Spills and collisions occured frequently. As a result, very few of the chariot drivers manages to finish the race.
Which is grammatically correct: everyone has or everyone have?
Every one has - you wouldn’t say ‘one have’ since evidently ‘one’ is singular.
Only grammatical correction...............?
Hello, I'm very interested in these types of jobs (OR this type of job, singular needs to agree with singular, plural with plural). I'm available to MOVE FOR WORK ("leave for it" makes NO sense! OR "I'm available immediately" and the rest is unnecessary because you've said you're available). I'm the best person for this job because I love America and hard WORK (OR a difficult job) with a lot of people (drop "around"; it's redundant). Here's the completed (OR "filled in") document and my certificate about the bar lady (OR, bar tending) job. Sincerely, Rosa Prugna NOTE: Your English is a little awkward. Since this job apparently depends on your drinks making/ bar tending skills and not your command of the English language, you could send this application as corrected. (And, believe me, those few "phrases" I corrected are necessary for this to make sense to an English-speaking person!)
Could you correct my grammatical mistakes ?
so for history class i need to write a paragraph about this picture : http://cantonasylumforinsaneindians.com/... and this is what i wrote The Same Three Boys “Why did the photographer choose this title for this photograph?” is the first thing that comes to mind. You look at the picture and you don’t see a lot of similarities between the boys except their clothing but when you dig a little bit deeper you can understand why this title fits this photograph perfectly. This picture was taken in Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. The school was found by Richard Henry in 1879 and its mission was to shape identity; that shaping meant to transform American Indian children to resemble their so-called “civilized” American brothers and sisters. The Civilization Act of 1819 promoted such policy by providing funding to societies who worked on Native American improvement. Washington believed that Native Americans were equal but their societies were inferior. This act has its own supporters such as Henry Ward Beecher, which once said “The common schools are the stomachs of the country in which all people that come to us are assimilated within a generation. When a lion eats an ox, the lion does not become an ox but the ox becomes a lion.” On the other hand, there were some people who thought the opposite such as Teton Sioux, also known as The Sitting Bull, which said “If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man he would have made me so in the first place. He put in your hear certain wished and plans; in my heart he put other and different desires. Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit. It is not necessary, that eagles should be crows.” This quote perfectly shows how some of the Native Americans were against this change and this policy and how they had to go through this process anyway. In this kind of schools they didn’t only change the way Indians dress, they wanted to change the way they talk, their beliefs about god and their customs. So when you go back to the title of this photograph you can see that the photographer chose this name perfectly, because in these schools, they did want to make everyone to be the same, look the same, and act the same as the “civilized” people.
How can I politely correct someone's grammatical error without looking or sounding like a grammar Nazi?
Well, first off, make sure they’re actually making a grammatical error. This involves understanding the difference between descriptive grammar (the actual grammar of a language as it is spoken by native speakers) and prescriptive grammar (arbitrary rules about how the language ‘should’ be spoken).Second, ask yourself this: does it matter? If the intended meaning is clear and the context is informal, it probably doesn’t matter, and therefore, no correction is necessary. If the intended meaning is not clear, or the context is more formal, then it may matter, and correction may be in order.Third, be polite. This means not belittling the person for having made an error, and phrasing your correction as an attempt to help. For example, “Hey - this letter is going to go out to clients, so you might want to double-check your phrasing. In particular […]”.Sometimes, it may be best to put it as a question. “What you wrote is a little unclear to me. Did you maybe mean X instead?” This “saves face” by not explicitly saying they were wrong, and so can help avoid embarrassment (and thereby avoid the anger than can arise from being embarrassed).Good luck!

I have written a Paragraph, please correct the grammatical mistake and also let me know why?
I am sundaresan a Native Indian. My name is (First name) Sundaresan, and I am from India. This is a bit more proper way of introduction. I completed my Master's in Computer Science. I got my Master in Computer Science. I have some 10 Months experience in an MNC as a recruiter. I have 10 months experience as recruiter for MNC (spell it out, don't abbreviate). Numbers 10 and up is okay to use number, 0 - 9 are spelled out. My father is a Business man. My mother is a Home Maker. My father is a business man, and my mother is a homemaker. This can be a compound sentence - they are 2 different thoughts of equal importance. I have a brother. He is studying B.Sc., Computer Science. I have brother who is working on his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. (OR) I have a brother who is studying Computer Science. You can combined both sentences into one sentence. My hobbies are reading books, Listening to Music, and Watching T.V. My hobbies are reading books, listening to music, and watching TV. You capitalized proper nouns or word at the beginning of a sentence; and it is proper to use comma before the "and" you wrote but there those who allowed the lack of that comma. I aspires to be a Journalist. (OR) I aspire to be a Journalist. This is a bit awkward; you might want to write it like: My main aspiration is to be a Journalist. (OR) I am an aspiring Journalist. The use of "s" on a verb are use with verbal agreements - singular (he, she, it, girl, boy) you use "s," and with plural (boys, girls) except for I - you don't use "s."
