Answer 1

The questions pertain to English grammar, focusing on sentence correction, use of clauses, and punctuation. True or false judgments are made, with corrections offered for any false statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject matter here relates to English grammar, sentence structure, and the correct use of clauses and punctuation. When assessing the validity of sentences and their structure, there are clear rules to follow. For example, when determining where to place commas, we look at the clauses involved and whether they are independent (can stand alone as a complete sentence) or dependent (cannot stand alone).

In the case of sentence 1 ('My dad usually read a bedtime story to me and my brother.'), the statement is false because the correct verb tense should be 'reads' since it is habitual action in present tense. Sentence 7 ('Complex sentences are sentences that contain one dependent clause and one or more independent clauses in a sentence.') is true as complex sentences indeed consist of at least one dependent clause and one independent clause.

Examples Correcting False Sentences:

• Sentence 2 correction: Ahmed and Kedija are getting married next year. False. Correct sentence: Ahmed and Kedija are getting married next month/year/soon (any specific time that is correct).
• Sentence 3 correction: Everyone has gone to church, hasn't he? False. Correct sentence: Everyone has gone to church, haven't they?
• Sentence 9 correction: We use a semi-colon to join related dependent clauses with connecting words. False. Correct statement: We use a semi-colon to join related independent clauses with connecting words.
