What is wrong in sentence number two?

**Afraid** is one of the adjectives that cannot be used before a noun in the attributive position. It is used in the predicative position after **be** and other copular verbs. In attributive position, other words must be used. (e.g. **frightened** soldiers) [https://www.englishgrammar.org/correct-usage-afraid/](https://www.englishgrammar.org/correct-usage-afraid/)

2. There are two: "afraid soldiers" is wrong. "afraid" cannot be used like that. "frightened soldiers" or "soldiers who were afraid" may be a way to replace that. But also: "anymore" is one word in this context.

*Afraid*, like other adjectives with the *a-* prefix (*asleep, alive,* etc.) cannot be used attributively (i.e. directly before the noun). You can change it to another word like "scared".

frightened or fearful in place of afraid, and anymore, not any more.

Afraid is incorrect. Scared or Frightened would be ok. Any more should be anymore. Any more refers to a quantity, anymore means passage of time. You could also delete just if you wanted. It's not technically wrong but it's really not needed.

This is why I hate assignments like this. I would throw that sentence away completely and start my thought all over again.

The sentence also works if you just delete the word "afraid"

"afraid" can't modify nouns. "fearful" works.

First you showered, then you drank tea. It should read ...then I usually drink some tea.

Anymore is one word, not two. It should read "Anymore" Rather than "Any more"

Afraid soldiers doesn't read right. Normally "fearful" would be used there. I'm not 100% sure that's what it's looking for though, seeing some of the problems that get posted here.

So this is an English thing. You can’t afraid someone. Someone is afraid or not. But it’s on that individual, not the other actor that is generating a fearful demeanor, event, etc. But you would never afraid someone. Insert scare and you are better. You can scare someone, which instills fear. Ie, you’ve made the person themself, afraid. Honestly I completely fucking understand your confusion. English is wild. Meaning: scary things occur but it’s your designation to be afraid. It’s almost always used from the prey’s perspective. Hmmm the more I think about this the more interesting it gets. Someone correct my goofiness if ya can. I’m just spitballing at this point. Looked too close at the abyss and now I’m free falling with op

What app/website is that?

Anymore

I would think frightened works much better. Lands on the ear much nicer

If the instruction is to modify one expression (A, B, C or D) then why is 1 correct? It has 2 errors: the one highlighted and the correct order should be, “long black rectangular hole”. Otherwise it says specifically a black hole, not just any hole.

Afraid -> cowardly

Something is wrong with all the other sentences too, actually. 1. In this context, one would say six feet deep 2. Covered by others 3. Similar to #1, one would say usually drink 4. We very agree is nonsense. You could say we strongly agree. 5. For some reason, Italian is the only one of those words that needs an s on the end. The Italians.

"some afraid soldiers" you can say "some soldiers were afraid and didn't want to fight" Or "some scared soldiers, some terrified soldiers, some horrified soldiers" etc, but afraid doesn't work in this context

Nothin' mate. It technically works. Some afraid soldiers. They were afraid! It works, and I'm pretty sure I've seen stuff like it in actually books before...

Afraid is a predicative adjective. It can only be used after a verb and not before a noun. Most adjectives can appear in either position, but some cannot. The soldier was afraid. ⭕️ The afraid soldier couldn't move. ❌

The other answers here about it being predicative-only are right. Just want to add that native speakers would perceive it as incorrect but would understand what you meant.

Not working..

2. Had started - this action happened first

I would also add a comma before 'so' in that sentence, but do correct me if I'm wrong.
