Hello. You missed bolding the verb.
Yesterday, Mariana ate salad for lunch.
Answer:
Mariana ate salad for lunch yesterday.
Explanation:
The statement "Mariana eats salad for lunch yesterday" is inaccurate. The inclusion of the word "yesterday" indicates that the action occurred in the past, requiring a corresponding verb tense for grammatical accuracy and coherence. The error lies with the verb "eats," which is present tense and incompatible with the past tense adverb "yesterday." To rectify this, we need the verb in its past form "ate," thereby adjusting the sentence to read "Mariana ate salad for lunch yesterday."
