Is the sentence correct?
Yes — "Squirrels save nuts and mushrooms to eat later." is grammatically correct.
Why it is correct (simple steps):
- Subject: "Squirrels" — that means more than one squirrel.
- Verb: "save" — this matches the plural subject (we say "squirrels save", not "squirrels saves").
- Objects: "nuts and mushrooms" — these are the things the squirrels save.
- Purpose phrase: "to eat later" — this explains why they save the food (so they can eat it later).
One small clarity tip: You can add the word "them" to make it extra clear what will be eaten:
"Squirrels save nuts and mushrooms to eat them later."
Simple alternative that children often use:
"Squirrels save nuts and mushrooms for later."
Short practice: Try changing the animal: "Birds save seeds to eat later."
