Question

Use the sentences to answer the question
Millie might not be able to attend the play tonight because she still has to find someone to watch her two year old daughter for the night

Which version of the sentence corrects the error in the compound adjective

Answer 1

The sentence contains a compound adjective "two year old," which should be corrected to "two-year-old." The corrected version of the sentence would be:

"Millie might not be able to attend the play tonight because she still has to find someone to watch her two-year-old daughter for the night."

This correction properly hyphenates the compound adjective describing the daughter’s age.
