Answer 1

Certainly! Let's correct the mistakes in the sentences:

1. You can read your favorite book there. 2. My friend's name is Ben. 3. The bus stop is just a five-minute walk from my house. 4. Bring your computer because mine is broken. 5. My bedroom is bigger than theirs.

Explanation:

1. "Your favourite book's" should be corrected to "your favorite book there." The possessive form is not needed in this context.

2. "My friends name's Ben." should be corrected to "My friend's name is Ben." Use an apostrophe to indicate possession or a contraction.

3. "Five minutes walk" should be corrected to "a five-minute walk" to make it grammatically correct.

4. "Bring your computer because my is broken." should be corrected to "Bring your computer because mine is broken." Use "mine" instead of "my" to indicate possession.

5. "My bedroom is bigger than their." should be corrected to "My bedroom is bigger than theirs." Use "theirs" to indicate possession, as it is a possessive pronoun.
