1) Teenagers are more mature than the little children.
2) Congratulation with your high score.
3) This watch is nonsense to me.
Great job, Kitty! I will just make one suggestion...
When you use the word "congratulations," it will be with an "S" at the end. You will also commonly say "on" after it. Here's an example: Congratulations on your graduation!
So that means your second sentence would turn into, "Congratulations on your high score." It's also common for Americans to shorten the word congratulations into "congrats." This would be the slang for congratulations.
1. She is mature than her looks.
2. You should have congratualated me！！
3. You must have told the editor something nonsense.
i'm sorry. the first one should be : she is maturer than her look.
Good sentences, Ashley! I will just make one correction that you could choose to use...
For the first sentence, you had a good catch with "maturer," but the proper grammar is "more mature." English is so confusing like that--sometimes it's an "er" at the end of a word and sometimes it's a "more" before it. In this case, the sentence would read, "She is more mature than she looks." I also edited the end of the sentence a tiny bit. Great job though, girls!
