The subject is <u>lady and Homer</u>, which is plural. The verb is <u>was putting</u> is singular.

What change do you think should be made in this sentence?
Answered by Hannah
lady and Homer should be they and was putting shoud be where putting?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Close. The verb is <u>were</u> putting.

<b>The lady and Homer <u>were</u> putting too much batter in the machine.</b>

Reading it over again -- the preposition "in" should be <b>into</b>.
