A Spot of GRAMMAR

1. THIRD PERSON RULE
2. SOMETIMES

Can you spot the mistakes in the following sentence (there are two): "Sometime the bad guy make the best good guy."

The mistakes in the above sentence are: sometime and make
This is the correct sentence: "Sometimes the bad guy makes the best good guy."


Explanation:
Don't forget your 's'!!
1. Sometimes is ALWAYS with an 's'. Sometimes is an Adverb of Frequency.
2. 'Makes' needs an 's' because this is the "Third Person Rule" of Grammar. i.e. He/She/It/Name = + 's'. e.g. a) She likes to eat cake. b) She doesn't like to eat cake. c) Does she like to eat cake?
