Golden retrievers makes wonderful family pets. It is easy to train, too.

Answer 1

Answer: Golden retrievers make wonderful family pets. They are easy to train, too.

Explanation:

Golden retrievers makes wonderful family pets. It is easy to train, too.

'makes' is a verb used for singular nouns since there is an 's' at the end of the verb. However, 'Golden retrievers' is a plural noun. Hence, we can change 'makes' to 'make' since 'make' is a plural verb that describes a plural noun. Also, 'It' is a singular noun describing the golden retrievers which is not grammatically correct. 'Golden retrievers' is a plural noun, so 'It' should be changed to 'They'. Hence, the singular verb 'is' should be changed to the plural version of the verb, 'was'.

New corrected sentence: Golden retrievers make wonderful family pets. They are easy to train, too.
