Correcting Grammar in Sentences About Animals for 11-Year-Old Students

Let's look at the sentences you wrote and see how to improve them.

Original sentences:
"The lion doesn’t live in the forest. Forest animals are wolves, squirrels and bears."

Corrections and explanations:

• First sentence: "The lion doesn’t live in the forest."
  This sentence is grammatically correct! It clearly tells us that lions do not live in the forest.
• Second sentence: "Forest animals are wolves, squirrels and bears."
  This sentence is mostly correct, but adding a comma before 'and' (called the Oxford comma) can help avoid confusion: "wolves, squirrels, and bears." Also, for clarity, you could say: "Animals that live in the forest include wolves, squirrels, and bears."

So, the corrected text could be:

"Lions don’t live in the forest. Animals that live in the forest include wolves, squirrels, and bears."

This makes it clear and grammatically correct for an 11-year-old reader.
