Understanding the sentence
Let’s look at the sentence: “Dolphins surf waves for fun, like people.”
This sentence is almost correct, but we can make a small adjustment for clearer grammar and meaning.
Two possible, clear versions
- Plural subject with matching verb: “Dolphins surf waves for fun, like people do.”
- Compare and keep it simple: “Dolphins surf waves for fun, like humans do.”
Why these changes help
- Adding do after uest says what people do, making the comparison clear.
- Using humans or repeating do keeps the sentence crisp and natural for young readers.
Tips for young writers
- When you compare two things, use a simple word like like and add do after the comparison to finish the sentence.
- Keep the subject plural (dolphins) and the verb in the right form (surf).
So, the best, kid-friendly options are: “Dolphins surf waves for fun, like people do.” or “Dolphins surf waves for fun, like humans do.”
