Your sentence is a great start! Let's make it clearer and grammatically correct step by step.
Original sentence: Sheep have very sharp ears, they tell one another and their shepherd by the voice.
Here's a corrected version:
Sheep have very sharp ears. They tell one another and their shepherd by their voices.
Explanation:
- We separate the first sentence into two sentences for clarity: 'Sheep have very sharp ears.' and 'They tell one another and their shepherd by their voices.'
- Instead of 'the voice', we say 'their voices' because each sheep uses its own voice to communicate.
So, the improved sentence means that sheep listen carefully with their sharp ears and use their voices to talk to each other and to their shepherd.
