  1. Should read:

    Luckily my scores in the writing and literature compass tests have made it so I'm in English Comp I instead of the the other classes they prefer students to take.


  2. The word "has" should be replaced by "have" since the subject of the sentence "scores" is plural. The "I" after English Composition should be replaced with the numeral 1 and the comma which follows immediately after should be moved back to where it immediately follows "it".

    In other words, there are three errors in total of which two are grammatical.

  3. Too many.

  4. In the question or the comment?  (one and many)

    (It should be: "How many grammar errors...".  The other one has too many to discuss in detail.  I'll give you one to get you started, it should be: "...tests have made..."  That is if it was indeed more than one test otherwise it should be:  "... test has...")

  5. Well lets start with your grammar error in your question.  wow...

  6. It just sounds weird. Try: Luckily, my scores in the writing and literature COMPASS tests were high enough, so now I'm in English...

  7. Wow that is 1 messed up sentence

  8. 9055544

  9. Nun it luks good to mi.

  10. 7  

    Luckily my scores on the writing and literature compass tests have made it. So, I'm in English Composition I instead of the other classes they prefer students to take.

    and it should be GRAMMATICAL errors.


  11. How many grammatical* errors* can you find in the following sentence ?

    Luckily, my scores in the writing and literature COMPASS test have* made it. *So I'm in English Composition I, instead of the other classes they prefer students to* take.

    3 in the sentence and 2 in the actual question.

    * = mistake

  12. There are too many to point out.  For one thing, cut that sentence at least into two different sentences.  

  13. "Luckily, my COMPASS scores in writing and literature have caused me to be placed in English Composition I instead of another class that [they} prefer students to take."

    The above is a bit more grammatical, *however*, semantically it doesn't make much sense. and who is "they"? colleges? teachers? parents? why use "luckily" if there is a preferred class?

  14. Luckily, my scores in the writing and literature COMPASS tests has HAVE made it so I'm in English Composition I, instead of the other classes they prefer students take.

    SUGGESTED REWRITE.

    Luckily, my writing and literature COMPASS test scores HAVE placed me in English Composition I, instead of the classes they prefer students take.

    I tried to rewrite without taking you out of the sentence.  Personally, i would have rewritten the entire sentence.

  15. it should read:

    Luckily, my scores in the writing and literature compass tests have made it.......

  16. Whoa...goodness...

    Luckily, my scores in the Writing and Literature Compass test(s) have made it, so I'm in English Composition I instead of the other classes they prefer students take.

  17. well, I dont't understand what you want to say in "instead of the other classes they prefer students take" shouldnt't it be "students to take"?

  18. Enough that you've been correctly placed in English Comp I instead of a more advanced class.

  19. i don't spot any:-\

  20. Well I'm is suppose to be spelled out so-I am- and has is suppose to be have. I think all i can see is 2. Also never use you...its confusing to the reader...and dont allow them to answer by themselves...for instance........

    I think that martin Luther King had the best ways of fighting equality.

    when a person puts i think, it gives the reader a chance to disagree.

    so instead put.

    Martin Luther King has the best ways of fighting equality, Malcolm X doesnt.
