I have an assignment due on Monday and need at least eight more people to help me out. For this assignment, I'm supposed to ask which of these sentences makes grammatical sense to people, according to their instincts.
Which of the following questions do you believe are grammatically correct? Why? You may choose more than one question. Please be honest and go with your gut instincts. For the purposes of this homework assignment, there are no right or wrong answers.

1. I needs to go the store.
2 If I wanted to go to the store, I would definitely do it.
3. Oh my gosh, did you see that?
4. Me want candy now!
5. I went to my favorite Chinese restaurant and had chicken chow mein and coffee and fried rice and steamed vegetables and moo shue and a lot more other things and I paid a lot of money for that good food.
6. I had a headache and a fever the other day, but it went away after taking some aspirin.
7. My heart is really into it.

two, three, six, seven, eight
2,3,6,7 and 8 sound grammatically correct to me. I can tell you why the others don't sound correct and how I would say them.

1. I need to go to the store.
4. I want candy now!
5. not punctuate and it sounds like an run on sentence.

Good luck with the assignment.

3, 7, 8 only. The others are problematical.

1, agreement error; 2, tense error; 4, case error; 5, run on; 6, agreement error
