Learn how to correct the sentence about flamingos eating red shrimp and how it changes their feather color, explained simply for a 5-year-old.
Let's look at the sentence: The flamingo eats red shrimp that turns its grey feathers pink.
This sentence is almost correct, but it's a little tricky because the word "that" can confuse us.
The sentence means: Flamingos eat red shrimp, and those shrimp make the flamingo's grey feathers turn pink.
Because "shrimp" is plural (more than one), we should use the word "turn" instead of "turns." So, the sentence should be:
The flamingo eats red shrimp that turn its grey feathers pink.
This way, the shrimp "turn" the grey feathers pink, and the sentence is correct!
