Correct sentence: In summer, mosquitoes fly in cloud-shaped swarms.

This sentence is grammatically correct. Here is why, in simple steps:

  • In summer tells when something happens. A comma after an introductory phrase like this is fine but not always required.
  • Mosquitoes is the subject (who). Fly is the verb (what they do). They match because both are plural.
  • In cloud-shaped swarms tells how they fly. The words 'cloud-shaped' form an adjective (two words that together describe 'swarms'), so the hyphen is correct and makes the meaning clear.

Other good ways to say it: In the summer, mosquitoes fly in cloud-like swarms. or In summer, mosquitoes fly in swarms that look like clouds.

Nice sentence — good job!
