Correct the sentences
Sir,
I like to read adventures stories.
I think the above sentence is not correct. I think it may be like as given below.
1. I like to read adventurous stories.
2. I like to read adventure stories.
Which one is correct.
-------------------------------------
1. Have you found out where you were born?
2. Have you found out where you are born?
Which one is correct?
My doubt is that in (1) ,as some part is in present tense and other part is in past.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find him at the station.
You can find hims outside the station.
I have to join these two sentences using either ------or.
I think in different ways e.g
You can find him either at or outside the station.
You can find hims either at the station or outside the station.
Which one is correct?
---------------------------------------
What is your name?
Here the word "what" is the subject or object?
My problem is how I can know that ,specially in intrrogative sentences, intrrogative pronoun is functioning as subject or object of the sentence.
Thanks.
