Sentence Corrections

  1. Sheila didn't fetch wood from the forest as an adequate amount of wood was available to make a fire.
  2. At this particular moment, Mary would be enjoying her camp.
  3. She worked hard towards her passion despite being a star kid.
  4. Marilyn engaged in studying throughout her summer holidays.

In sentence A, 'woods' should be corrected to 'wood' as an uncountable noun. In sentence B, 'point in time' should be changed to 'moment'. In sentence C, 'the fact that she is a star kid' is unnecessarily wordy and can be corrected to 'despite being a star kid'. And in sentence D, 'study' should be changed to 'studying'. These corrections ensure clear and grammatically correct sentences.
