Subject Noun
Most poeple love Halloween as they eat lots of candy.
The second post should read:
Most people love the sweetshop as they eat lots of candy.
Kelly: Good apart from the spelling;-)
Bernie: Good.
3. change the indirect object noun
Most people love the sweetshop as they eat lots of sugar.
Andra: Good.
#4. Change the first verb name
Most people browse the sweetshop as they eat lots of sugar.
5.Change the adjectives
A few people browse the sweetshop as they eat lots of sugar.
6. change the second verb name
A few people browse the sweatshop as they consume lots of sugar.
Bernie: Interesting--I'm not sure whether you mean they are afraid to eat the candies or they're shoplifting!
Seiko and Sara: Good.
I assume that Sara means "sweetshop" and not "sweatshop." :)
A few people browsed the sweetshop as they consumed lots of sugar.
Note: I think the word "as" needs changing, depending on the intent of the sentence. Are people browsing the sweetshop WHILE they eat candy, or do they browse the sweetshop BECAUSE they like candy? In my sentence above, I'm writing it as if people are browsing while they are eating.
1. change the subject noun
The children browsed the sweetshop as they consumed lots of sugar.
Kelly: I think you're correct about "sweatshop"--I assumed it was a typo. You're also correct about the two possible meanings of "as", and yes, the "while" meaning is the one needed here. Your sentence is good, too:-)
Andra: Good.
