Let's look at your sentence carefully:
"Baby chicks often start out with fuzzy feathers that can easily get wet. So, swans, like many water birds, taxi their chicks around on their backs till they are ready to swim."
The sentence is mostly correct! Here are a few tips to make it even better:
- In the second sentence, "So," is a bit casual and can be connected better. Instead of starting a new sentence with "So," you can write: "Because" or "That’s why" to show cause and effect more clearly.
- Also, the word "taxi" is a special word used for planes or boats, but it works here in a fun way to say "carry." You could also say "carry their chicks around on their backs."
- Finally, "till" is okay, but "until" is the more formal and correct word to use.
A corrected version would be:
"Baby chicks often start out with fuzzy feathers that can easily get wet. That’s why swans, like many water birds, carry their chicks around on their backs until they are ready to swim."
Great job! Keep practicing your sentences!
