"crow" needs the indefinite article "a" before it.
"faeces" is a plural noun, therefore the verb after it has to be into plural.
I think by "crow" you mean that black bird with a harsh call...so, instead of "goes" I'd use "flies".
That line:
"it goes and shits in the middle of sea" would read:
"it flies and shits in the middle of the sea"
What do you think?
And there should be a space after the comma. | | | 19 July 2008 14:09 | | | thanks lilian canale
I thought feaces is uncountable so ı wrote is. But ı looked dictionary and couldnt learn it is countable or uncountable.
I changed it. Thanks | | | 20 July 2008 15:22 | | RiseNumber of messages: 126 | "learns" yerine "is told" daha uygun olur:
