Question
I am having some trouble with prescriptive and descriptive rules. I have to decide whether the following sentences are prescriptive or descriptive.
1.) I will talked to you tomorrow about our plans this weekend.
2.) Joe and her love to watch Spartan football every Saturday.
Help please!

The second is probably a descriptive sentence.
