A substitute teacher on the first morning
The text, mistakes revealed
Here is the text as players saw it, with its 5 mistakes highlighted and corrected.
Mr. Davis walks into the noisy classroom and wonders how to accomodateaccommodate so much wild energy. He knows that twenty onetwenty-one pairs of eyes are already judging his every clumsy move. The lesson plan left by the regular teacher mentions a morning game to break the ice. As the activity begins, he notices that each of the players havehas a different strategy. A few kids whisper about a field trip to a local restarauntrestaurant later that week. He taps loudly on the chalkboard to get the childrens'children's attention before the next period. Once the room finally grows quiet, he smiles broadly and introduces himself to the class.
- → mistake, then its correction
The traps in this round
-
accomodate →accommodate
“Accommodate” takes two c and two m — it accommodates both.
-
twenty one →twenty-one
Compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine always take a hyphen.
-
have →has
“Each” is singular, so the verb must be singular as well.
-
restaraunt →restaurant
“Restaurant” is restaur- plus -ant.
-
childrens' →children's
“Children” is already plural: apostrophe then s.
