Explanation

They do not hang out.

"Do" is the correct auxiliary verb with the plural subject "they".

Main verb "hang" remains in base form after "do not".

Explanation

The verb "prevented" is typically followed by the preposition "from" when talking about stopping someone from doing something.

The correct structure is: "prevented from + gerund (verb + ing)."

Explanation

 My brother, who lives in Islamabad, is a doctor.

• Correction to original sentence: It should be "My brother, who lives in Islamabad, is a doctor." (with commas).

•  The clause "who lives in Islamabad" adds extra information that is not essential to identify "my brother", making it non-defining.

Explanation

 Loudly barked the dog.

The usual subject-verb-object order is inverted here for emphasis or style.

Normally, it would be "The dog barked loudly."

Explanation

 This sentence has two independent clauses ("She studied hard" and "she didn’t pass the exam") joined by the coordinating conjunction "yet", making it a compound sentence.

Explanation

Infinitives are a special form of verbs that can be used as a noun, adjective, or adverb.

They are usually made by adding the word to before the base verb, and they can be useful when discussing actions without actually doing the action.

"To go" is the base form of the verb with 'to', which is called an infinitive.

It acts as the object of the verb "want."

Explanation

The sentence contains one independent clause: "the boy ran away."

"Seeing the wolf" is a present participial phrase, not a separate clause, so the sentence remains simple.

Explanation

The sentence has a dependent clause ("After he retired") and an independent clause ("he bought the house").

The subordinating conjunction "After" introduces the dependent clause, making it a complex sentence.

Explanation

The sentence has three independent clauses: "He saw," "he came," and "he conquered."

They are joined by semicolons, which link independent clauses without conjunctions — a key trait of a compound sentence.

Explanation

 "He was too late to submit the paper."

"To submit" is the correct infinitive form because it fits the context of the sentence.

The sentence implies that he was too late to take action (submit the paper).
