I need help correcting these grammar senetces.?
Several of these items could stand editing. Identify the sentences that contain errors, and say what’s wrong with it. If you can’t articulate the problem, then instead you may show how it should be written correctly.

The tree dropped it’s leaves on the driveway.
THE FIX?




Facebook is a social networking site, Twitter is one, too.

Mom picked up the childrens toys.

The cat ate its food.

1, Change it's to its. because "it's" is "it is" and in this sentence we need a possessive pronoun.

2. There should be a semi colon or a period instead of the comma between site and Twitter. It is a run-on otherwise.

3. Children's*. To show possession of the toy.

4.I believe that sentence is correct.

5. Correct. Remove "completely" for a less wordy sentence as unable alone can convey the similar meaning of complete.
