Answer 1

1. Neither Nor nor Peter didn't enjoy the party. - Correction: Neither Peter nor did Peter enjoy the party. - Explanation: The correct structure for using "neither...nor" is to place the subject (Peter) before the auxiliary verb (did) and invert the subject and auxiliary verb in the second part of the sentence. Additionally, the word "didn't" is redundant when using "nor" after "neither."

2. This is ours dog. - Correction: This is our dog. - Explanation: The possessive pronoun "ours" should be used before the noun "dog" to indicate ownership.

3. Neither Andy and Jane lives in Scotland. - Correction: Neither Andy nor Jane lives in Scotland. - Explanation: When using "neither...nor," both subjects (Andy and Jane) should be followed by the verb "lives" to indicate that neither of them lives in Scotland.

4. This is Freds' watch. - Correction: This is Fred's watch. - Explanation: The possessive form of the name "Fred" should be written as "Fred's" to indicate ownership.

5. We enjoyed us on holiday last year. - Correction: We enjoyed ourselves on holiday last year. - Explanation: The reflexive pronoun "ourselves" should be used instead of "us" to indicate that we enjoyed the holiday.

6. Is this him suitcase? - Correction: Is this his suitcase? - Explanation: The possessive pronoun "his" should be used before the noun "suitcase" to indicate ownership.

7. These are Johns slippers. - Correction: These are John's slippers. - Explanation: The possessive form of the name "John" should be written as "John's" to indicate ownership.

8. Jim, Bob, and Tim are both doctors. - Correction: Jim, Bob, and Tim are all doctors. - Explanation: The word "both" is used to refer to two items or people. Since there are three individuals mentioned (Jim, Bob, and Tim), the word "all" should be used instead to indicate that all three of them are doctors.
