What time will your plane arrive? (Asks future tense, not present perfect - basically its the only one that sounds normal.)\nBy the time he comes home, I will have finished dinner. (Tense is correct.  Specifies event passed not event occuring)\nHe can predict how many people will be living in these regions.  (Can predict specifies indefinite future)\nThey will soon be able to solve the problems. (The other one simply does not make sense.)\nAccording to the timetable, the plane arrives at 7PM (For all I've been taught you want to avoid wordiness and to be verbs.  I'm honestly not really sure on this one.)

They are all grammatically and syntactically correct. The second is correct, but the expression "possessed of" is more unusual and might be considered incorrect by some (although it is correct).

No, it does not sound right. It could be corrected as:\n\na. He is/was not able to perform\n\nb. He could not perform\n\nc. He is/ was unable to perform

Both are correct.  The verb is "give back" and both objects may optionally be moved between the main part of the verb "give" and the particle "back".  The two preceding posters, while well-meaning, are absolutely wrong.

Here's the problem: The subject of the sentence is "creating designs and making modifications." It is a plural subject (there are 2 things in the subject: creating and making). So, the verb has to agree with it. The verb is "helps" and is incorrect. It should be "help" -- which is the form of the verb for a plural subject.

Sentence number 2 is correct.\n\nThe reason sentence 1 is not correct is because it has a dangling participle. In other words, the participle cannot distinguish what it wants to describe. \n\nIt could be that you realize how much different you have been than before (like in sentence 2)\nOR------\nit could be that you realize how FREQUENTLY you have been different than before.\n\nIf you read sentence 1, you will realize that both senerios could be true. \n\nHope this helps\nThanks\nJon

either is acceptable..\n\nthough, if you would be using the sentence in theme papers.. or any formal writing..\n\nyou should use the second..\n\nthis is for the reason that when a number is present in a sentence..\n\nit is only appropriate that you affix the word "for"..\n\nexample...\n\nwe were trekking for four days (it wouldn't seem formal if you use "we were trekking four days")

I was taught a simple way to know which is correct.  Say the sentence without the other person's name. As in: "Me & Kathy went to the store" becomes: "Me went to the store." Obviously "Me" is incorrect.  Another: "It was a secret known only by me & Kathy". Becomes: "It was a secret known only to me". In this case "me" is correct.\nThis works every time!

There are three errors in this sentence. What are they?\n\nThere are only two grammatical errors, so the false statement is the third error.

Your sentence structure is passive.  To make it active, make the subject of the sentence the administrators and people of the community instead of "the reason," which merely "is."  For example: "Administrators and people of the community hear the same laundry list of complaints from industry leaders in the community," or whatever it is your "reason" is.\n\nGood luck.

It's not grammatically wrong, but it is long and awkward. The double "to" is a grammatical error--or more like a typographical one. Otherwise, it's an issue of style.

School's is correct, it is showing possession. Schools' would be showing plural possession. The sentence appears to be correct.

Hmmm. I don't understand the question, can you clarify it?

Here are the errors:\n\nNeither refers to two things: neither "x" nor "y", you have used it for three.\n\n"that" is unnecessary.\n\nIt would be best written as:\n\nThe lessons, the paper, the subject; none remind me of you.
