(1) My aunt and uncle has four cats and a dog. (2) One day I saw them all sleeping on the same couch. (3) Even though the dog doesn't like the cats very much. (4) It was a cold day, so maybe they were cuddled together for warmth.

(5) My aunt usually feeds all four cats on the dining room table so the dog can't reach her food. (6) The dog's food dish is on the floor in the kitchen. (7) Never eat the dog's food-I guess they don't like it.

What error can you find in sentences 2 and 3, and how could you fix it?

• Sentence 2 is incomplete.

• Sentence 3 is incomplete. You could fix it by combining sentences 2 and 3 like this: "The dog doesn't like cats very much, but one day I saw all five animals sleeping on the same couch."

• The two sentences should have the same verb tense. You could fix this by changing the word saw to see, or by changing the word doesn't to didn't.

• Both sentences are error-free. Neither needs any changes.
