Original sentence: "With tiny wings and a giant beak, the toucan more hops than flies between branches."
Corrected sentences (choose one):
- With tiny wings and a giant beak, the toucan hops more than it flies between branches.
- With tiny wings and a giant beak, the toucan hops between branches more often than it flies.
- The toucan hops more than it flies because it has small wings and a big beak.
Why the original is wrong (simple steps):
- Words are in the wrong order: "more hops than flies" doesn’t sound correct. We usually say "hops more than it flies" or use "more often."
- We need a subject for the second verb: add "it" (the toucan) if you say "it flies."
- The introductory phrase "With tiny wings and a giant beak," is fine — keep the comma after it.
Short rule to remember: If you compare how often a bird does things, say "hops more than it flies" or "hops more often than it flies."
