Fix the sentences grammatically and say why you made the changes

Here are the corrected sentences, along with explanations for the changes made:

  1. Original: mrs burns the woman who was the founder of the greenwich village merchants association will speak at our next Meeting
    Corrected: Mrs. Burns, the woman who was the founder of the Greenwich Village Merchants Association, will speak at our next meeting.

    Changes Made:

    • Capitalized "Mrs." to correctly denote a title.
    • Added a comma after "Burns" to set off the nonrestrictive clause that provides additional information about her.
    • Capitalized "Greenwich Village Merchants Association," as it is a proper noun.
    • Lowercased "Meeting" because it is not a proper noun in this context; it does not refer to a specific title or name.

  2. Original: joshua whose my cousin's friend invited myself and omar to the after game party at his house next friday which is located on cedar street
    Corrected: Joshua, my cousin's friend, invited Omar and me to the after-game party at his house next Friday, which is located on Cedar Street.

    Changes Made:

    • Capitalized "Joshua" and "Omar" as they are proper nouns (names).
    • Changed "myself" to "me," as "me" is the correct object pronoun to use in this context. "Myself" is reflexive and should only be used when the subject and the object are the same person.
    • Added a hyphen in "after-game" to indicate that it is a compound adjective describing the party.
    • Capitalized "Friday" and "Cedar Street" because they are proper nouns.
    • Added commas after "Joshua" and "friend" to clarify the structure of the sentence and separate the introductory clause from the main clause.
