1. What colour is your hair.

2a. Would you take the milk bottle to mummy?

2b. Could you pikc up the milk bottle for me?

3. Yes, that is correct.

The differences between “to” and “for” is a rather long discussion. It depends a bit on the sentence it is used in. Let me think on this one a bit and get back to you.

4. You are misunderstanding. Fish take water through their gills. The oxygen is removed (or filtered) from the water and is used by their body.

5. Bananas whose skin is yellow are ripe and can be eaten raw.

6. These sentences don’t really make sense as written. Additionally, they are best left as two sentences. If you wanted to join them, it would sound a bit funny. Bananas whose skin is green are not ripe; they are suitable only for cooking, not for eating raw.

1) What color is – correct

2a) to mummy – correct

b) pick up for me – correct

3) In the fall, many apples are ready for picking from the apple trees

4) The water goes in the fish mouth, through the gills, and out the gills. The gills remove the oxygen before the gulp of water goes back into the fishbowl/tank/whatever – the removed oxygen is “breathed” by the fish.

5) When the banana is ripe, the banana skin is yellow; yellow bananas can be eaten raw.

6) When the banana is raw, the banana skin is green; green banans are suitable for cooking rather than eating raw.

You again! <3 1) What colour is your (or my) hair? I think it's just an English thing to refer to 'hair' as one entity instead of a group. It would be correct, but unusual, to say 'What colour are your hairs?'. 2) Would you bring the milk bottle to Mummy? Would you pick up the milk bottle for Mummy? I assume that 'Mummy' is you, and things are brought to oneself, not taken to oneself. To and for are both prepositions. 'To' usually means that an action is done in a particular direction. ('To Mummy' means 'in Mummy's direction') 'For' usually means that an action is done with a goal or purpose in mind. ('For Mummy' means 'with the goal of pleasing Mummy') 3) In the fall, many apples are ready for picking from apple trees. The only error is that you said 'apples tree' when it should be 'apple trees'. There are many trees, each being described by the single word 'apple'. 4) I think what the book means is this: When goldfish breathe, they gulp water. Then they filter the water through their gills to remove the oxygen, which is taken into their bodies. The excess is then released back into the ocean. 5) There are a few options: When a banana is ripe, its skin is yellow; this is how you know it can be eaten raw. When a banana is ripe, its skin is yellow, and it is then that one can eat it raw. A banana can be eaten raw when it is ripe; one can tell that it is ready by its yellow skin. A banana can be eaten raw when it is yellow; this means that it is ripe. When a banana turns yellow, it is ripe and, therefore, can be eaten raw. 6) When a banana is green, it is suitable for cooking rather than eating raw. (Or you could rearrange it as I have done with #5)
