× Yes, there is a lot of rules for students when I was in our school.
✓ Yes, there are a lot of rules for students when I was in our school.
The phrase 'there is' is incorrect because 'rules' is plural. The correct form is 'there are' to agree with the plural noun 'rules'. This is a common issue with 'there be' constructions where the verb must agree in number with the subject.
× Like no more growing hairs, no more tattoos, no more additional earrings and no coloring of hair.
✓ Like no more growing hair, no more tattoos, no more additional earrings, and no coloring of hair.
The word 'hairs' is incorrect here because 'hair' is an uncountable noun when referring to hair collectively. Using 'hairs' implies individual strands, which is not the intended meaning. Also, adding a comma before 'and' improves clarity.
× Yes, students would benefit more from more rules because it is for their own wealth and appearances because these rules are in place to maintain and meet and uniform appearance among all of these students.
✓ Yes, students would benefit more from more rules because they are for their own welfare and appearance, as these rules are in place to maintain a uniform appearance among all of the students.
The pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers to 'rules' which is plural, so 'they' should be used. Also, 'wealth' is incorrect in this context; the correct word is 'welfare'. The phrase 'meet and uniform appearance' is incorrect; it should be 'maintain a uniform appearance'. These corrections improve clarity and grammatical accuracy.
× Yes I do, had a lot of teacher way back from high school down to college and they shaped me on what I am today because I still carry their shared knowledge to me.
✓ Yes, I do. I had a lot of teachers way back from high school down to college, and they shaped me into what I am today because I still carry the knowledge they shared with me.
The original sentence lacks the subject 'I' before 'had', making it incomplete. 'Teacher' should be plural 'teachers' to match 'a lot of'. The phrase 'shaped me on what I am today' is incorrect; it should be 'shaped me into what I am today'. Also, 'their shared knowledge to me' is awkward; 'the knowledge they shared with me' is clearer and grammatically correct.
