Answer 1

1. 去掉is。根据下文是“曾经有一位……”，所以用there used to be…。

2. hanged改为hung。因为hang作“悬挂”解，是不规则动词，其过去式是hung；作“绞死”解，才是规则动词，过去式是hanged。

3. laying改为lying。此句是leave…doing…(让……处于某种状态)的被动式；表示状态的“在、位于”，用lie，其现在分词是lying；而laying 是及物动词lay(放置)的现在分词。

4. damaging改为damaged。因为car与damage是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语。

5. in改为into。因为表示“把……变成……”是用短语turn…into…。

6. 去掉been。因为不去掉been, 就是被动语态了，而take place是不及物动词，无被动语态。

7. have改为has。因为主语rubbish是不可数名词，所以谓主用单数。

8. 在planted前加been。因为谓语动词plant与主语是动宾关系，要用被动语态。

9. 此行正确。

10. our改为their。因为在此指代的是adults。
