Explanation: The word "expected" indicates that someone had a certain anticipation or belief about something happening. In this sentence, "they" had an expectation that "the man" would "cross the street." This means that the people mentioned in the sentence thought or believed that the man would walk from one side of the street to the other.
2. He saw his mother to write them a letter.
Correction: He saw his mother writing them a letter.
Explanation: The original sentence is grammatically incorrect. We need to correct it by using the word "writing" instead of "to write," as it properly shows the action that was happening at the time. So "he" saw "his mother" and the action she was doing, which was "writing them a letter."
3. We wished the work to laugh.
Correction: We wished the work to be light-hearted.
Explanation: The original sentence does not make sense as it is. We can correct it by using the phrase "to be light-hearted" instead of "to laugh." This suggests that "we" wanted "the work" to have a cheerful or positive quality.
4. He made her to be done in time.
Correction: He made her do it in time.
Explanation: The original sentence is grammatically incorrect. We need to change "to be done" to "do it" to express that "he" caused or forced "her" to complete a certain task within a specific time frame. The phrase "in time" suggests that the task was completed before a deadline or at the expected time.
5. She let everybody go.
Explanation: The sentence is correct as it is. The word "let" means to allow or give permission, and in this case, "she" allowed "everybody" to leave or go somewhere.
6. I supposed to be to be your friend.
Correction: I thought I was your friend.
Explanation: The original sentence sounds repetitive and unclear. We can improve it by using the phrase "I thought I was" instead of "I supposed to be" to express that the speaker had a certain belief or understanding about their friendship with the other person.
7. My friend wants this man to be good friends.
Explanation: The sentence is correct as it is. The phrase "wants this man to be good friends" indicates that "my friend" desires or wishes for a positive relationship between themselves and "this man."
