Is this grammatically correct? What does it mean? And can it be rephrased? We bought poly bags and we were grouped in 9s, with each group having about 100 poly bags and we perforated them. The essence of perforation is to allow excess water to drain
The passage you've provided is mostly grammatically correct, but there are a few areas that could be improved for clarity, coherence, and precision. Here’s a breakdown of key issues and a rephrasing of the content:
### Key Issues:
1. **Redundant Phrasing**: "We equally folded the nylon" can simply be stated as "We also folded the nylon."
2. **Clarity**: "the essence is to reduce the quantity of topsoil will take" is unclear. It seems to be missing words that convey the complete idea.
3. **Phrase Formatting**: "This a nursery method of landscaping" is missing the verb "is."
4. **Specificity**: "the flower was cut in a slanted form using chess scissors" likely intends to say "using sharp scissors" rather than "chess scissors," unless the scissors are uniquely designed for that purpose.
5. **Logical Flow**: Some sentences could be restructured for better logical flow and connectivity.
### Rephrased Version:
"We purchased poly bags and were divided into groups of nine, with each group receiving approximately 100 poly bags that we perforated. The purpose of the perforation is to allow excess water to drain out, thereby preventing waterlogging. We also folded the nylon to reduce the amount of topsoil it would hold. This is a nursery method used in landscaping. I specifically planted West Indies flowers by cutting them. The flowers were cut at an angle using sharp scissors. After cutting, we defoliated them to remove excess leaves that could consume more nutrients. I planted two flowers in each poly bag in case one fails to germinate.
**LAST ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT IN THE CROP PRODUCTION UNIT:** In the second phase of my internship at the crop production unit, which lasted about one week, we collectively weeded the entire farm."
### Explanation of Rephrasing:
The revised version maintains the original meaning but enhances clarity and grammatical accuracy. It also ensures that the information flows logically from one point to the next, making it more readable for the audience.
