anthony visits nick
on sunday, anthony went over to nicks house to play basketball. they played a gam of one - on - one. anthony made six baskets, bute nick made eight nick was the winner after the game, both boys went in side to have some snacks and watch television.

Explanation:

To find the mistakes, we analyze each part:

1. "On sunday" - "sunday" should be "Sunday" (capitalize the day).
2. "over to Nicks house" - "Nicks" should be "Nick's" (possessive).
3. "basketball," - should be a period (end of sentence).
4. "a gam" - "gam" should be "game" (spelling).
5. "bute nick" - "bute" should be "but" and "nick" should be "Nick" (spelling and capitalization).
6. "eight Nick" - add a period after "eight" or a comma (punctuation).
7. "whent in side" - "whent" should be "went" and "in side" should be "inside" (spelling and compound word).
8. "snack's" - apostrophe is incorrect (should be "snacks" as it's plural, not possessive).
9. "watch" - should be "watched" (verb tense, since the actions are in past).

Counting these, we have 9 mistakes. (Note: Depending on strictness of some, like punctuation after "eight", but the main errors are the above - let's list each distinct error:

• Capitalization: sunday→Sunday, nick→Nick (2)
• Possessive: Nicks→Nick's, snack's→snacks (2)
• Spelling: gam→game, bute→but, whent→went, in side→inside (4)
• Punctuation: basketball,→basketball., eight Nick→eight. Nick (2)
• Verb tense: watch→watched (1)

Total: 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11? Wait, let's re - examine:

1. "sunday" → "Sunday" (capitalize)
2. "Nicks" → "Nick's" (possessive)
3. "basketball," → "basketball." (punctuation)
4. "gam" → "game" (spelling)
5. "bute" → "but" (spelling)
6. "nick" → "Nick" (capitalize)
7. "eight" → "eight." (punctuation, or "eight,")
8. "whent" → "went" (spelling)
9. "in side" → "inside" (spelling)
10. "snack's" → "snacks" (apostrophe error)
11. "watch" → "watched" (verb tense)

Yes, that's 11 distinct errors. Let's confirm each:

• Capitalization: sunday (1), nick (2) → 2
• Possessive: Nicks (3), snack's (4) → 2
• Spelling: gam (5), bute (6), whent (7), in side (8) → 4
• Punctuation: basketball, (9), eight Nick (10) → 2
• Verb tense: watch (11) → 1

Total 11. The initial count was wrong, let's do it carefully:

1. "On sunday" – sunday should be Sunday (capitalization, error 1)
2. "Nicks house" – Nicks should be Nick's (possessive, error 2)
3. "basketball," – comma should be period (punctuation, error 3)
4. "a gam" – gam should be game (spelling, error 4)
5. "bute nick" – bute should be but, nick should be Nick (spelling and capitalization, errors 5 and 6)
6. "eight Nick" – need punctuation after eight (e.g., eight. Nick or eight, Nick) (punctuation, error 7)
7. "whent in side" – whent should be went, in side should be inside (spelling, errors 8 and 9)
8. "snack's" – apostrophe incorrect, should be snacks (error 10)
9. "watch television" – watch should be watched (verb tense, error 11)

Yes, 11 errors.

Answer:

There are 11 mistakes (the errors are in capitalization, possessive, spelling, punctuation, and verb tense as detailed above).
