Any Grammar genious?

Question

Please tell me if I have some oops on my grammar on this sentences?

1.Gertrude is passing the empty roads quietly when to men in uniform blocked her way.

2.Trey moved backward slowly with plan of running on his mind.

3.“Hey kid, did you know that there is a curfew for underage trouble makers like you.”

4.He scuttled away in a rush to repel his self far from those cops

Answer 1

1.Gertrude is passing the empty roads quietly when to men in uniform blocked her way.
-change 'to' to 'two
-inconsistent tenses. you have to change 'Gertrude is' to 'Gertrude was' in order to keep the sentence in past tense.

Corrected:
Gertrude was passing the empty roads quietly when two men in uniform blocked her way.


2.Trey moved backward slowly with plan of running on his mind.
-it sounds awkward

Corrected:
Trey slowly moved backwards, planning to run.

3.“Hey kid, did you know that there is a curfew for underage trouble makers like you.”
-questions need a question mark
-troublemakers is one word

Corrected:
"Hey kid, did you know htat there is a curfew for underage troublemakers like you?"

4.He scuttled away in a rush to repel his self far from those cops
-change 'his self' to 'himself'
-add a period to the end
-change 'those' to 'the' because you can't tell whom 'those' refers to
-change 'repel' to something else, because it usually refers to trying to get something away from yourself

Corrected:
He scuttled away in a rush to get himself far from the cops.

Answer 2

1. is passing
- do you mean walking? and IS should be WAS because blocked is past tense.
-should read.. Gertrude was walking the empty roads, quietly, when TWO men in uniform blocked her way.

2. doesn't make sense, why would moving backward lead to running?
-should read...Trey moved backward to get a running start.
OR....Trey slowly began to backing up, waiting for an opportunity to run away.

3.Does the curfew only apply to troublemakers or to all teens? You should consider...
..."Hey kid, don't you know there's a curfew?"
OR
..."Underaged troublemakers like you are the reason we have a curfew!"

4. scuttle means to move with SHORT hurried movements. Is that how you think he would move to put distance between him and the cops? Repel is used incorrectly in this sentence. And his self is incorrect. This sentence should be completely rewritten.

Answer 3

I would re-write the sentences as under:
1.Gertrude was quietly passing through (or 'along') the empty road, when two men in uniform blocked her way.
2. Trey was moving backward slowly, with a plan of running in his mind.
OR
Trey moved backward slowly, planning to run, in his mind.
3. "Hey. kid. Did you know that there is a curfew for underage trouble makers (or 'troublemakers') like you?"
4. He scuttled away to keep himself far from those cops. ('Scuttled' has the meaning 'to proceed or move hurriedly', and so 'in a rush' is implied in this word.)

Answer 4

1.Gertrude is passing the empty roads quietly when to men in uniform blocked her way.

s/b TWO men in uniform

2.Trey moved backward slowly with plan of running on his mind.

s/b with THE plan, or just say ...slowly while planning to run

3.“Hey kid, did you know that there is a curfew for underage trouble makers like you.”

Needs a "?" not a "." at the end.

4.He scuttled away in a rush to repel his self far from those cops

"his self", I'd say "himself"
needs a "." at the end.

Answer 5

Gertrude was passing the empty streets quietly when two men in uniform blocked her way.
Trey moved backwards slowly with intent to run in mind.
"Hey kid; didn't you know there is a curfew for underage troublemakers like you?"
He scuttled away in a rush to put distance between himself and the cops.

Answer 6

1) Gertrude was walking on the empty roads when two men in uniform blocked her passage.

2) Trey slowly moved backwards, planning to run.

3) It needs a question mark at the end, but otherwise, it's fine.

4) He scuttled away quickly in order to get himself far from those cops.
