Correct sentence:
Snow is made of many snowflakes, and each one looks unique.
Let's fix the sentence step by step so a 7-year-old can understand:
- Change "a ton of" to "many" or "millions of": "A ton of" is a casual way to say "a lot of." For clear writing say many or millions of. Example: "Snow is made of many snowflakes."
- Make the second part a complete idea: The phrase "each looking unique" is not a full sentence part by itself. We need a subject and a verb. Say each one looks unique. So add "and" to join the ideas: "...and each one looks unique."
- Put it together: "Snow is made of many snowflakes, and each one looks unique." You can also write it as two short sentences: "Snow is made of many snowflakes. Each one looks unique."
Other good versions:
- "Snow is made of millions of snowflakes; each one looks unique."
- "Snow is made of many snowflakes. Every snowflake looks different."
Quick practice: Fix this sentence the same way: "The tree has a lot of leaves, each blowing in the wind."
Answer: "The tree has many leaves, and each one blows in the wind."
Great job! Keep practicing making full ideas with a clear subject and verb.
