Grammar check and fun activity

Original sentence: "Show who takes letters to the right house."

Better ways to say it:

• Imperative (asking someone to show): "Show who delivers letters to the right house."
• Simple child-friendly version: "Show who brings letters to the correct house."
• Question form: "Who delivers letters to the right house?"

Why change it? The word "deliver" (or "bring") sounds more natural than "take" when we talk about mail. "Right" and "correct" both work; "correct" is a little more formal.

Who does this job? The person is called a mail carrier, postman, or postwoman. You can say: "The mail carrier brings letters to the right house."
