The phrase "which is very big and friendly" is set off by commas because it is providing additional information about the dog.

Correct the mistakes in the sentences. One sentence is correct. That’s the man I met him last week.
Correct Answer
That's the man I met last week.Explanation
The correct answer is "That's the man I met last week." The mistake in the original sentence is the repetition of the pronoun "him" after the verb "met." In English, it is not necessary to use both the pronoun and the noun when referring to a person. So, the correct sentence only includes the pronoun "that's" and the noun "man" after the verb "met."Rate this question:

The woman gave us the tickets is my aunt.
Correct Answer
The woman who gave us the tickets is my aunt.Explanation
The original sentence is incorrect because it is missing the relative pronoun "who" before "gave." In English, when we want to specify which woman we are talking about, we use the relative pronoun "who" to introduce a relative clause. This clause provides additional information about the woman, stating that she is the one who gave us the tickets. By adding "who" before "gave," the sentence becomes grammatically correct and clear in meaning.Rate this question:

"Gym" refers to a facility for exercising and working out, not specifically for playing sports. "Rink" is typically used for ice skating or roller skating. "Slope" is not relevant to the context of a sports centre. "Track" is usually associated with running or racing, not football.Rate this question:
