English Sentences....Let's give this a try...Check your spelling
In the spirit of Carlos (thanks again Carlos for your threads) I would like to post sentences for non-native English speakers to correct. Carlos's posts have helped me a great deal and I wanted to give something back to the community, so here goes.
Ground Rules:
First, this is for non-native English speakers and you will have to post your answer in English.
Second, there is no "dumb" answer and all answers will be respected and if need be, corrected in a gentle manner by yours truly (or of course any admin that stops by to look).
Third, have fun!!
Sentences to correct:
1. The student over their ax like an ate year old but hes twelve.
2. My seven year old is going threw a faze but will fined herself in her room soon if she keeps this pore behavior up.
3. I prey this thread works out all write.
4. That is a fowl smell.

Hi, Jason!
I want to give a try too, thanks for this exercise.

Hey chica,
Hope all is well. Numbers 2-4 are great!! 
1. you changed the word "ax" to "looks". In this case, it changed the meaning of the sentence. (I like how you separated "hes" into "he is" although you could have made it into a contraction (he's) with an apostrophe.
Nice job to everybody that gave this a shot!! I hope you found it a little challenging (especially #1) jejeje Anyway, here are the correct answers and I will post another thread later today. I am getting ready to make pancakes for my children.

I forgot to say, I will post the correct answers by Wednesday and write new sentences then as well. I want to give everybody a chance that wants one. Lovely, you were the brave soul that went first!! Way to go. Hint: the words that need to be changed sound similar but do not have the same spelling.
In response to the comment left by Ian, here is a link...
Hyphenation Thanks Ian!!
My comment - it would seem that #1 is causing some problems for everyone up to now.

2 My seven year old is going through a phase but will find herself in her room soon, if she keeps this poor behavior up.
3 I pray this thread works out all right.
