Answer 1

The underlined words in each sentence can be replaced by a possessive noun phrase to make the sentence more concise. These new phrases show ownership or association by adding an apostrophe and 's' to the end of a noun, or, if the noun is plural and ends in 's', just adding an apostrophe after the 's'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The underlined words in these sentences can be replaced with possessive noun phrases to make them more concise and natural. Here are the corrected sentences:

• My friend's name is Tim.
• Tim's wife is friendly.
• My neighbors' daughter walks to school.
• My friends' dog barks a lot.
• The children's bicycles are in their garage.
• That woman's car looks new.
• This brand's knives are very sharp.
• The bus's tire is flat.
• That restaurant's name is Village Ton.
• The waitress's name is Susy.

Remember, a possessive noun phrase is formed by adding an apostrophe (') and an 's' to the end of a noun to show ownership or association. If the noun is plural and ends in 's', just add an apostrophe after the 's'.
