Question

Rewrite the following sentences using vivid adjectives and avoiding slang and nonstandard English. A boy and his dog sat by a house.

Help, I can't figure out anything wrong with this sentence? Change a to "the" or something to do with sat? Or "by a house"? Help me please!

Answer 1

The small boy and his dog sat by their house.

Answer 2

A beautiful blond-haired boy and his playful dog sat by a terrifying house near the river.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to rewrite the sentence to make it more descriptive, we should use vivid adjectives. In this case, we add these adjectives in unmarked position (before the nouns). It is also possible to add some extra details such as "near the river".
