Original:
Marmots live in burrows. They warn each other about danger with loud whistles. It’s not easy to catch them

Corrected:
Marmots live in burrows. They warn each other of danger with loud whistles. It's not easy to catch them.

Why these changes?

  • Periods and punctuation: The last sentence needed a period at the end. Every sentence should end with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
  • Capital letters: The first word of each sentence already had a capital letter, which is correct.
  • Word choice: "Warn each other of danger" sounds a little more natural than "warn each other about danger," but both are okay. You can use either.
  • Contraction: "It's" means "It is." The contraction is fine for this sentence.
  • Pronoun meaning: "Them" points back to "marmots," so the meaning is clear.

Short tip: Read your sentence out loud. If it sounds finished, put a period at the end.

Nice work! These sentences were already mostly correct — just add the missing period and you are done.
