a. There is under a horse a new sidesaddle. - There is a new sidesaddle under a horse.
Here is misplacement of the predicate noun phrase. The direct object appears at the end of the sentence.
b. In girls we see many happy days. I'm not sure about this one, although I am sure that there are a few men out there that would argue that this sentence is right on.
There is either a problem with the direct object (happy days)... or a problem with the object of the preposition. (in girls).
c. I'll challenge a new bike. I'll challenge a new idea.
The direct object shouldn't be bike.
d. I surprise no new glamour. I'm surprised that there is no new glamour. ??
If you use surprise as a verb, it takes a direct object. You surprised what or who?
e. Is there three chairs in this room? Are there three chairs in this room?
The verb isn't conjugated properly.
f. Mike and Peter is happy. Mike and Peter are happy.
The verb isn't conjugated properly.
g. Bill and John likes hot dogs. Bill and John like hot dogs.
The verb isn't conjugated properly.
h. Proliferate is a complete time about a word that is correct Wow... not sure on this one but I know that proliferate is an adjective and not a noun and that proliferate is not a time.
i. Went came in better than it did before. I'm not sure here either although I'm sure our class could come up with a few inappropriate interpretations. Possibly.. it went in better than it came out. Went is a the conjugated form of the verb to go and can not be used as a subject noun as it is in this case.
