Grammar Check and Explanation of Dry Grasslands for 12-Year-Olds

Let's look at your sentence and correct the grammar step by step:

Your original sentence: "This illustration is to show dry grasslands (the Great Steppe of Eurasia and American prairies). These biomes ae known for very little rain, lack of trees and strong dry winds, as well as sand storms."

Corrections:

• "ae" should be "are" – this is a small typo.
• It's better to add a comma after "lack of trees" because you are listing things.
• "sand storms" is usually written as one word: "sandstorms."
• To improve flow, the two sentences can be combined or rephrased.

Corrected version:

"This illustration shows dry grasslands (the Great Steppe of Eurasia and the American prairies). These biomes are known for very little rain, a lack of trees, strong dry winds, and sandstorms."

Here’s what was changed:

• "is to show" was changed to "shows" for simplicity and clarity.
• Added "the" before "American prairies" because we usually say "the American prairies."
• Added "a" before "lack of trees" because "lack" is a countable noun in this context.

If you want, you can also combine the sentences like this:

"This illustration shows dry grasslands, such as the Great Steppe of Eurasia and the American prairies, which are known for very little rain, a lack of trees, strong dry winds, and sandstorms."
