A: The second sentence appears to be incorrect, so I could say that the first one is the correct sentence.

Looking at it, the second sentence has "it", making the word appear redundant since the subject is already identified. You may, however, use it like this: "The water in this glass doesn't seem to be clean, concerning me to even drink it." Furthermore, the spelling "ie" is incorrect since it should be "is".

On the other hand, the first one is correct in terms of its grammar and spelling.


I hope this helps in terms of their difference and correctness.

Yes, then I think my answer will be fine for that. If you want to simplify it more for kids, you could also say
If you wet the clay, it will become soft again. But if the clay dries out, it will get too hard and adding water won’t help.

Hope that helps.

A: × you should not drink some tap water in this area.
✓ you should not drink the tap water in this area.

"some tap water" implies that there is only a portion of the tap water here which you should not drink (some of the tap water is bad, but some is OK).

"the tap water" implies that all of the tap water here is water which you should not drink.

You can also say "you should not drink any of the tap water here", which has a stronger feeling of "even a small amount would be bad".

✓ You can’t drink my water bottle.
