The original sentence "A donkey’s big ears help it hear sounds from very far away." is grammatically correct.
Here's why:
- Subject: "A donkey’s big ears" – this is clear and correctly shows possession with the apostrophe.
- Verb: "help" matches the plural subject "ears".
- Object: "it hear sounds" – "it" refers to the donkey, and "hear" is the base verb used after "help".
- Additional information: "from very far away" correctly describes where the sounds come from.
The sentence is simple and perfect for explaining to a 4-year-old how a donkey's ears assist with hearing distant sounds.
