Correct sentence:
The garbage truck takes the trash out of the city.
This original sentence, “The garbage truck takes trash out of the city,” is already understandable and mostly correct. Adding the word the before trash makes it sound a little more natural.
Step-by-step (easy):
- Who? The garbage truck (this is the subject — who does the action).
- Does what? takes (this is the verb — the action).
- What? the trash (this is the object — what is being taken).
- Where? out of the city (this tells where the trash is taken).
Why use the present tense? The sentence uses the present simple tense (takes). We use this when something is a fact or happens regularly — for example, garbage trucks often take trash away from the city.
Other simple ways to say it:
- The garbage truck takes trash out of the city. (also okay)
- The garbage truck takes the trash out of the city. (more natural)
- Garbage trucks take trash out of the city. (plural — talking about all garbage trucks)
- The garbage truck removes trash from the city. (a fancier word — "removes")
Everything is fine grammatically — just remember the period at the end and you can add the if you want it to sound smoother.
