Answer 1

Ok...I'll find them I guess?!?

Sentence: To enjoy the Shakespearean Play like Hamlet, a person should read it before seeing it i believe...

*First, the "i" in i believe isn't in capital letters.

*I think the phrase I believe is supposed to be after the comma, not at the end of the sentence.

I think the sentence is suppose to look like this...

To enjoy a Shakespearean Play like Hamlet, I believe a person should read it before seeing it.

Sentence: since donnas poem entitled springtime won first prize, mr harris our teacher read it to us.

*Er...the name mr harris is supposed to look like this Mr. Harris

*donnas is supposed to be Donna's

*The word since at the beginning of the sentence is suppose to be Since.

*There is no comma between the words prize and mr harris

*Donna's story isn't in capital letters

The sentence should probably look like this...

Since Donna's poem entitled "Springtime" won first prize, Mr. Harris, our teacher read it to us.

I am guessing thats not all of it. I'm not exactly good at grammar but I gave my best shot. Probably someone else can figure it out. Glad to help! :-)

Answer 2

"since donnas poem entitled springtime won first prize mr harris our teacher read it to us"

Since Donna's poem, entitled Springtime<<(italicize) , won first prize, Mr. Harris, our teacher, read it to us.

Answer 3

"to be specific the chicago tribune is differnt from omaha world herald because the former comtains more sections"

To be specific, the Chicago Tribune is different from the Ohama World Herald because the former contains more sections.

It's hard to do this without actually seeing it on a paper. That's about as close as I can get to that one without seeing it.

Answer 4

Usually, I'd tell you to fix it yourself ... but ... I'm in a happy mood ..

To enjoy a Shakesperean play like Hamlet, a person should read it before seeing it, I believe.

Since Donna's poem entitled Springtime won first prize, Mr. Harris, our teacher, read it to us.

To be specific, the Chicago Tribune is different from Omaha World Herald because the former contains more sections.

(I don't get the last sentence? It makes absolutely no sense). The closest I can get ... He taught us students to refinish furniture. As a result, I refinished this table.

You owe me! - LOL
