Delaying Task Completion: Grammar Check

The sentence requires a word to indicate possession for the 'contributions'. The context is about completing a task and sending items related to it.

Contributions: Selecting the Correct Word

  • "you are": Incorrect. This is a verb phrase and does not show possession.
  • "your": Correct. This is the possessive form of 'you', indicating that the contributions belong to the person being addressed.
  • "you're": Incorrect. This is a contraction of "you are" and cannot be used possessively.
  • "yore": Incorrect. This word refers to a time long past and is irrelevant here.

The phrase "Send contributions" needs a possessive determiner like 'your' to specify whose contributions are expected.

Correct Word Explanation

Using 'your' correctly links the 'contributions' to the subject 'you', making the sentence grammatically sound and clear in its request to send the contributions promptly.
