Original sentence: A dry tongue doesn’t feel tastes well.

Correct sentences you can use:

  • A dry tongue doesn’t taste things very well.
  • When your tongue is dry, you don’t taste things well.
  • Shorter: If your tongue is dry, you can’t taste well.

Why? The original has two action words together: "feel" and "tastes." We only need one verb. For tasting, use the verb "taste." Also add a little extra word like "very" or "well" to make it sound natural.

Quick note for kids: your spit (saliva) helps your tongue taste food. If your tongue is dry, it is harder to taste things.
