What is the mistake in this sentence? "Learning to fly a plane and swimming were two skills Lucy really wanted to learn."

English

Answer and Explanation:

There is the same error repeated in two places in this sentence. This is because the sentence needs conjunctions before the verb "to fly" and before the word "lucy". Conjunctions are words that allow connections between the clauses of a sentence, allowing them to be read with fluidity and cohesion. Without these conjunctions, sentences are incorrect and incoherent.

The sentence written with the conjunctions correctly would be:

"Learning how to fly a plane and swimming were two skills that Lucy really wanted to learn."

“JOHN BROWN in Kansas settled, like a steadfast Yankee farmer,Brave and godly, with four sons—all stalwart men of might.There he spoke aloud for Freedom, and the Border strife grew warmerTill the Rangers fired his dwelling, in his absence, in the night;            And Old Brown,            Osawatomie Brown,Came homeward in the morning to find his house burned down.Then he grasped his trusty rifle, and boldly fought for Freedom;Smote from border unto border the fierce invading band:And he and his brave boys vowed—so might Heaven help and speed ’em—They would save those grand old prairies from the curse that blights the land;            And Old Brown,            Osawatomie Brown,Said, ‘Boys, the Lord will aid us!’ and he shoved his ramrod down.”

I paid for the answer.
