Grammer help?

Question

My mom started to plan a trip but she got side tracked and we never went on vacation that year.
(what goes between side and tracked?)

So I tried Hawaii facts still nothing came up.
(what goes between facts and still?)

Finding there were no books on Hawaii I got a World Book.
(what goes between Hawaii and I?)

In it I found a few interesting facts like Hawaii is made up of 132 islands with eight main islands.
(what goes between facts and like?)

I found out that dancing is the most famous part of Hawaii
(what's wrong with 'most famous part'?)

Did I forget to mention that I'm not good at spelling and grammer and tht i dont have any money so i cqant get a grammar book.sorry.

Answer 1

1) sidetracked, I believe.
2) If you are doing it based on punctuation, I would put a period and make it two sentences. You could also insert the word "and."
3) Here use a period.
4) I would use a comma, somebody else might prefer a semi-colon.
5) Dancing is an activity, not a part.

by the way, the word is spelled grammar, not grammer.

Answer 2

My mom started to plan a trip but she got side tracked and we never went on vacation that year.
(what goes between side and tracked?)
I have always thought this was a hyphnated word, but according to the American Hertitage Dictionary, it a compound word. "sidetracked" http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sidetracked

So I tried Hawaii facts still nothing came up.
(what goes between facts and still?)
a comma - "So I tried Hawaii facts" is a subordinate clause.

Finding there were no books on Hawaii I got a World Book.
(what goes between Hawaii and I?)
a comma - "Finding there were no books on Hawaii " is a subordinate clause.

In it I found a few interesting facts like Hawaii is made up of 132 islands with eight main islands.
(what goes between facts and like?)
a comma - "like Hawaii is made up of 132 islands with eight main islands" is a subordinate clause.

I found out that dancing is the most famous part of Hawaii
(what's wrong with 'most famous part'?)
I don't like the use of the word "part" here, but "most famous" is correct. I think "most famous aspect" would be better.

****Addditional Info****
They are correct; it is "grammar".

Also, it seems that these are the corrrection marks that a teacher made on a paper or something. If so, that would have been beneficial information to include, because I would have reworded several of the sentences. The way you posted the question, it looked like we were working exercises.

Answer 3

(what goes between side and tracked?)

Side-tracked (hyphenated because it acts as a single noun) means change your attention from one thing ot another.

So I tried Hawaii facts still nothing came up.
(what goes between facts and still?)
The still comes between two simple sentences (seperate clauses), and is thus sperated by commas: written "facts, still, nothing..."

Finding there were no books on Hawaii I got a World Book.
(what goes between Hawaii and I?)
Again, a comma seperates these this intitial subordinate clause (because it doesn't make sense on its own) and the following clause: written "... Hawaii, I..."

In it I found a few interesting facts like Hawaii is made up of 132 islands with eight main islands.
(what goes between facts and like?).
I'll just re-write this: "In it, I found a few interesting facts, such as that Hawaii is made up of 132 islands with eight main islands"

I found out that dancing is the most famous part of Hawaii
(what's wrong with 'most famous part'?)
I don't know whether I agree (I think surfing), but, grammatically, t's fine. You definitely don't say "famouser"!

Answer 4

1. nothing, but you could use a hyphen if you like.
2. You should not start the sentence with so. You may want to say, I tried searching for facts on Hawaii, but nothing came up.
3. a comma goes between Hawaii and I
4. you could leave it as it is, but if you would like a comma would work.
5. dancing is not a part of Hawaii. You may want to say I found out that Hawaii is most famous for its natives dancing.

Answer 5

First, it's spelled grammAr. =)

1. side-tracked
2. a semicolon
3. a comma
4. a comma
5. "part" is incorrect. "activity" would be proper ("I found out that dancing is the most famous activity in Hawaii.").

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

a dash goes between side and tracked (side-tracked)
A coma between facts and still (facts, still)
A coma between Hawaii and I (Hawaii, I)
A coma between facts and like (facts, like)
By saying most famous, you are saying that dancing is part of Hawaii. It could read that Hawaii is famous for its dancing.

Answer 7

No your grammar sucks, i'm no longer able to stand undesirable grammar and that i think of it particularly is nonetheless significant. maybe i think this form because of the fact I had an exceedingly strict English instructor from 5th-8th grade.
