Question

"Once hired, the teacher will sign a contract with the board of education listing the terms of employment and what the individuals’ salary will be."

This is a run-on sentence, I can't figure out how to fix it. Please help.


"If a student is 18 or older then that student has a right to view their school records."

It says there is a noun-pronoun agreement problem.

Answer 1

After being hired by the Board of Education, the teacher will sign a contract listing the salary and the
terms of employment.

Yes, there is a noun pronoun agreement problem. Is the word "student" singular or plural? What pronoun refers to the student? Does that pronoun agree in number?

Answer 2

Thank you

Answer 3

The first sentence is not technically a run-on, but it does need to be shorter and less wordy.

The second sentence has another error in it. You need to use "than" not "then" when comparing things.

Answer 4

I respectfull disagree, Writeacher. As I read the sentence, "then" is correct.

Answer 5

Oh, you're right!! I read it too fast! Thanks! =)
