Here are the corrected sentences along with explanations for the changes:
-
Original: Lusia bought an antique pitcher for her cousin who is in Atlanta which had came from Mexico.
Corrected: Lusia bought an antique pitcher for her cousin, who is in Atlanta, that came from Mexico.
Explanation:- Changed "lusia" to "Lusia" to capitalize the name.
- Changed "an" instead of "a" because "antique" starts with a vowel sound.
- Added commas around "who is in Atlanta" to set off the non-restrictive clause that gives additional information about her cousin.
- Changed "which had came" to "that came" because "had came" is incorrect; the past participle of "come" is "come." "That" is more appropriate here to introduce a restrictive clause, indicating that the pitcher specifically came from Mexico.
-
Original: There are less exchange students in this here French program then in last years therefore we might need to cut it.
Corrected: There are fewer exchange students in this French program than in previous years; therefore, we might need to cut it.
Explanation:- Changed "less" to "fewer" because "fewer" is used with countable nouns (like "students") while "less" is used with uncountable nouns.
- Removed "here" as it is unnecessary and awkward in the context.
- Changed "then" to "than" because the correct conjunction for comparison is "than."
- Changed "last years" to "previous years" for clarity and correctness regarding plurality; "last years" is not a standard expression in this context.
- Added a semicolon before "therefore" to properly connect the two independent clauses.
