*NUMBER CHANGE*

If the sentence is singular, change it to the plural; if it is plural, change it to the singular.

The first participant to make the correct changes will receive the bonus mark.

Over the next few weekends, we are planning to visit several festivals that are happening in different towns around the province. They will all be short drives as we want to spend our time at the festivals rather than on the roads. At this time of the year, thunderstorms are always possible, but we are hoping that they won’t affect our plans.

I noticed a few errors in ZHENX155's sentence so I decided to post my own. I'm not a big fan of "in a different town around the provinces" as it doesn't seem to make sense to me. That being said, the word "province" is singular and I had to make it plural by changing it to "provinces"...ideally I would have it read "in a different town in the province".

Over the next weekend, I am planning to visit a festival that is happening in a town in each of the provinces. It will be a short drive as I want to spend my time at each festival rather than on the road. At this time of the year, a thunderstorm is always possible, but I am hoping that it won’t affect my plan.

Good explanation, George -- and an even better solution, Kelly. I awarded marks to each of you.

Zheng, see if you can spot the problems the others have identified.
