Answer 2

14.1 Does you happen to know him?

The correct sentence should be: "Do you happen to know him?" The subject "you" should be followed by the verb "do" in the question form.

14.2 This job want doing at once.

The correct sentence should be: "This job needs to be done at once." The verb "want" should be replaced with "needs" to express the necessity of doing the job. Additionally, the verb "doing" should be changed to "done" to form the passive voice.

14.3 The young man were accused of giving false evidence.

The correct sentence should be: "The young man was accused of giving false evidence." The subject "the young man" is singular, so the verb "were" should be changed to "was" to match the subject.

14.4 We didn’t see nobody in the hall.

The correct sentence should be: "We didn't see anybody in the hall." The double negative "didn't see nobody" should be changed to "didn't see anybody" to express the negation correctly.

14.5 My parents buy a new car last week.

The correct sentence should be: "My parents bought a new car last week." The verb "buy" should be changed to "bought" to indicate that the action happened in the past.

14.6 They will tell his the truth.

The correct sentence should be: "They will tell him the truth." The pronoun "his" should be changed to "him" to indicate the recipient of the action.

14.7 Neither my friend nor my sister speak French.

The sentence is grammatically correct. It correctly uses the verb "speak" to agree with the subject "neither my friend nor my sister."

14.8 Everyone warn me against going there.

The correct sentence should be: "Everyone warns me against going there." The verb "warn" should be changed to "warns" to agree with the subject "everyone."
