HELP! With my 9 YEAR olds HOMEWORK! ?

Question

It's Language arts, there are 2 sentences, we have to find out what is wrong with them and fix the problem.... Here are the questions with the number of things wrong with them at the end. written exactly how it is on his paper. we found 8 things wrong for 8 but not 10

a. many stories is told about washingtons honesty said leslie (10)

b. leslie continued he probably didnt cut down his fathers cherry tree (8) things wrong

Answer 1

a.  "Many stories are told about Washington's honesty," said Leslie.

quotation 1, capital M, is to are, capital W, apostrophe in Washington's, comma, quotation 2, capital L, period.  That's 9...not sure what's still missing...

b.  Leslie continued, "He probably didn't cut down his father's cherry tree."

capital L, comma, quotation 1, capital H, apostrophe in didn't, apostrophe in father's, period, quotation 2

Answer 2

"Many stories are told about Washington's honesty," said Leslie.

Leslie continued, "He probably didn't cut down his father's cherry tree."

Answer 3

Everyone else has just been putting the correct sentences, and I agree they (for the most part) all look correct, but nobody has really answered if there are actually 10 mistakes for the first one. It looks like people only found 8, and since this is homework for a 9 year old, it probably won't be graded too harshly. I would assume it's a typo and move on.

Answer 4

many stories is told about washingtons honesty said leslie

“Many stories are told about Washington’s honesty,” said Leslie.

1. Open quotes before ‘Many.’

2. ‘Many’ should have a capital letter.

3. Replace ‘is’ with ‘are.’

4. Capital W for ‘Washington.’

5. Add an ‘s’ to Washington.

6. Apostrophe between ‘n’ and ‘s’ in Washington’s

7. Comma before the end quotes, i.e, after ‘Washington.’

8. Closed quotes after ‘Washington.’

9. Capital letter for ‘Leslie.’

10. Period at end of sentence.

leslie continued he probably didnt cut down his fathers cherry tree

Leslie continued, “He probably didn’t cut down his father's cherry tree."

1. Capital L in ‘Leslie.’

2. Comma after ‘continued.’

3. Open quotes before ‘He.’

4. Capital H in ‘He.’

5. Apostrophe between ‘n’ and ‘t’ in ‘didn’t.

6. Apostrophe between ‘r’ and ‘s’ in ‘father’s.’

7. Period at end of sentence and before end quote.

8. Close quotes after ‘tree.’

Answer 5

"Many stories are told about Washington's honesty", said Leslie. that's nine.

Leslie continued, "He probably didn't cut down his father's cherry tree." there's eight. each quotation probably counts  

Answer 6
