Answer 1

1. beginning改為starting.

2. then改為when.

3. at改為on..

    4. 刪去to.

    5. matter前加the.

6. a改為the.

7. 此行無錯。

    8. ride改為rides.

    9. considering改為considered.

    10. head前加his.

解析:

1. beginning改為starting.begin和start都有"開始"的意思， 但start還可指開動機器等。該句中表示"開動， 發動"，因此應用start.

    2. then改為when.當前一個分句動作正在進行時， 突然又發生了另一動作，應用連詞when.

    3. at改為on.get on為固定的動詞短語，意為"上車".

    4. 刪去to.reach為及物動詞，其后不接介詞。

    5. matter前加the."What's the matter with……？"是日常生活中常用口語句型。

    6. a改為the.這里的young lady特指上文的青年婦女， 其前應用定冠詞the.

    7. 此行無錯。

   

    8. ride改為rides.在when引導的時間狀語從句中，主語為第三人稱單數，謂語為一般現在時態，也應用動詞第三人稱單數。

    9. considering改為considered.在where引導的非限制性定語從句中，主語是謂語動作的承受者，應為被動語態。

    10. head前加his.head為可數名詞，其前應加限定詞。
