just gonna get started All right what change needs to
- 00:26
be made to sentence twenty one And here the pendulum
- 00:32
All right well the grammar police are always working so
- 00:35
we need to make sure that we look both ways
- 00:37
before crossing grammar avenue Yeah all right Well let's take
- 00:40
a look at the sentencing quest All right The characteristics
- 00:43
of lines and repeating patterns create movement Something wrong We'll
- 00:48
begin by voting option d off the island there's an
- 00:52

a which coincidentally happens to be the correct answer to
- 01:29
the problem with this sentence is that characteristics should be
- 01:33
plural like the other now nes but it's Not Instead
- 01:37
it has an apostrophe s which makes it possessive And
- 01:40
in this ends there isn't anything belonging to mr characteristic
- 01:44
here belong to someone else Yeah anyway sometimes it's nice 00:01:48.423 --> [endTime] to belong to something Their rules people
