Grammar Check for a 7-Year-Old: Correcting Sentences about Animals

The sentences you wrote are almost correct, but here is a better way to say them:

Original Sentences:

• The lion doesn’t live in the forest.
• Forest animals are wolves, squirrels and bears.

Corrected Version:

• The lion doesn’t live in the forest.
• Animals that live in the forest include wolves, squirrels, and bears.

Explanation:

• Your first sentence is good!
• In the second sentence, it's clearer to say "Animals that live in the forest include..." and put commas between the words "wolves, squirrels, and bears." The comma before "and" is called the Oxford comma and it helps avoid confusion.

So, overall your sentences are great, just a small improvement in the second one.
