Most of the following sentences contain a mistake. Correct them or write right. 1. We were very surprised that Tom behave in such a rude manner.
2. I asked a shop assistant for directions and he recommended try the tourist information office.
3. The police accepted the recommendation that they reduce the number of officers on duty.
4. Ifl can't leave my bags here, what do you suggest me to do with them?
5. I shouldn't go in there if I were you . They're having an argument about money.
6. Should I be out when you call, just leave a message with my assistant?
In this sentence, we need to change "behave" to "behaves" to match the subject "Tom," which is a third-person singular pronoun. This is because in the present tense, the verb should have an "-s" ending when used with third-person singular subjects.
2. I asked a shop assistant for directions and he recommended trying the tourist information office.
In this sentence, we need to change "try" to "trying." The verb "recommended" should be followed by the base form of the verb, which is "trying" in this case. This is because when we use "recommend" with another verb, we use the "-ing" form of the verb.
3. The police accepted the recommendation that they reduce the number of officers on duty.
This sentence is correct as it is. The verb "reduce" is correctly used in the base form after "that" in this case. When we use "that" to introduce a subordinate clause, we use the base form of the verb.
4. If I can't leave my bags here, what do you suggest I do with them?
In this sentence, we need to change "suggest me to do" to "suggest I do." The verb "suggest" is followed by the base form of the verb, so we remove the preposition "to." Additionally, "what do you suggest me to do" is changed to "what do you suggest I do" to maintain correct sentence structure.
5. I shouldn't go in there if I were you. They're having an argument about money.
This sentence is correct as it is. The phrase "if I were you" is a conditional construction used to express hypothetical situations. In this case, it is used to indicate the speaker's recommendation or advice.
6. If I am out when you call, just leave a message with my assistant.
In this sentence, we need to change "Should I be out" to "If I am out" to make it grammatically correct. "If" is used to introduce a conditional clause and is more suitable in this context. The rest of the sentence is correct as it is.
