    Fill in the blanks using the article(s), a, an or the. She has got two children; a boy and a girl. _______ boy's fourteen and ________ girl's eighteen.

    Explanation
    We have mentioned the boy and the girl before so the reader knows which boy and girl we are talking about. That is why we would use 'the' before them ,the second time.

    • Children like playing a lot.

    • Children like playing alot.

    Correct Answer
    A. Children like playing a lot.
    Explanation
    The plural of child is children (not childrens). Children is plural so there would not be any 's' in like. Third mistake is that a lot are two words not one.
