Divide with a dot or space
Plus "to". Example: He wants to run outside. "To run" is the infinitive phrase.
Perhaps this is because parents hear awful stories from the media about teens. The media will capture any little rumor they hear and turn it into a big deal.
"Teen runs away......"
"Teenage girl begins drinking....."
etc., etc. etc.
Parents hear the news and worry that their teenage kids will become like that so they focus on all the things they are doing wrong.
Or maybe, parents just want the best for their kids and they want them to learn from their mistakes.
Another reason could be that because many teens are going through puberty at that age, they begin caring about how they look and get worked up easily.
"Mo-om! I lost my hairbrush!"
"My curling iron isn't working!!!"
"My acne is just getting worse and worse! Ugh!"
Therefore, with their kids constantly complaining, parents are very likely to get frustrated about that. Either of those three reasons. I hope this helps!! Any questions, just ask me!

The sentence should be corrected as follows: "The Olimpic athlete raced down the slopes because he hoped to win the gold medal."
The correct options are:
* by changing "though" to "because" since it is proving an explanation to the 1st part of the sentence.
* by changing "hopes" to "hoped" since the 1st part of the sentence is in the past tense.
The incorrect options are:
* by removing "down the slopes" since it adds details about the meaning of the sentence.
* by replacing "he" with "the athlete" since the latter is already mentioned in the sentence and can be replaced by personal pronoun "he".
* by replacing "the gold medal" with "it" since the latter is not mentioned before in the sentence. Therefore, it cannot be replaced by the personal pronoun "it".
