Can the above sentences be phrased in such ways? Please advise.

  1. Wait for the hype surrounding the ‘missing person’ news to subside/cool off before telling the truth. <-- it’s now grammatical but I really don’t understand the purpose of such a sentence. Did you intend this to be advice for someone (because it is)? If so, why not tell the truth immediately.
  2. There are five districts/municipality in the York region. Each district/municipality has its own government. <-- There is a singular/plural error again. Can you find it?
  3. There are five districts/municipality in the York region. Each district/municipality operates independently and has its own government. <-- I’ve corrected the other errors, but there is still a singular/plural error again. Can you find it?
  4. There has been a proposed changes to the current by-law governing this industry. <-- I’ve corrected the other errors, but there is still a singular/plural error again. Can you find it?
  5. Changes to the current by-law governing the industry are being proposed. <-- A change is / Changes are… the error stemmed from plural/singular problems.
  6. Changes to the current by-law governing the industry have been requested/ proposed. <-- OK as long as there is only one by-law. I suspect there are a number of by-laws in which case correction is needed. The same comment applies to 4 and 5 above.
  7. The new law has been passed and will be implemented very soon. <-- The simple present tense is not appropriate here unless the law is passed at the moment of speaking.

I keep pointing out that you need to focus on singular/plural nouns and singular/plural forms when conjugating verbs.
What is the point of posting all these sentences unless you are going to learn from the corrections and try to put this into action.
Are we simply editing your work for you?

Thanks for replying.
I have made some correction as follow;

  1. There are five districts/municipalities in the York region. Each district/municipality has its own government.

  2. There are five districts/municipalities in the York region. Each district/municipality operates independently and has its own government.

  3. There have been a proposed change to the current by-law governing this industry.

I hope they are correct now. :slight_smile:

The first two are much better, but (4) is still incorrect.

There has been (singular)
There have been (plural)

a proposed change (singular)
proposed changes (plural)
