Corrected sentence: Long howls from wolves sound spooky to us, but they are just the wolves saying hello and sharing news.

Why this is better (easy words):

  • Clearer words: "Long howls from wolves" is easier to understand than "Long wolf howls."
  • Right verb: We use "sound" because "howls" is more than one howl (plural).
  • Comma before but: Put a comma before "but" because the sentence has two parts that could each be a sentence.
  • Friendlier words: "Saying hello and sharing news" explains the wolves are talking to each other, not trying to scare us.

Kid version: Wolves' long howls may sound scary, but they're just saying hello and telling each other news.
