Original sentence: An orangutan’s hands and feet are both great at grabbing branches. This makes orangutans great climbers.
Here are two correct ways to say it (pick one depending on whether you mean one orangutan or many):
Singular (one orangutan): An orangutan's hands and feet are both great at grabbing branches. This makes it a great climber.
Plural (many orangutans): Orangutans have hands and feet that are great at grabbing branches. This makes them great climbers.
Why change anything?
- The first sentence talks about one orangutan (singular), but the second sentence used "orangutans" (plural). It's best to keep the sentences the same number: both singular or both plural.
- Use the matching pronoun: "it" for one animal, "them" for more than one.
- Both corrected versions mean the same thing; they just match number correctly so they sound natural and clear.
Either corrected version is grammatically good. Great job noticing how hands and feet help orangutans climb!
