1. Adjective word order: There is a rule governing the order
of adjective usage--opinion, dimension, age, shape, colour, origin, material.
Given that order, the adjectives should be “exotic, imported, dark red, sports
”.
2. Missing subject: who is driving the car--the car doesn’t
drive itself; someone has to drive it. It’s possible to add “someone”.
3. Passive voice: if we omit the subject from the first
clause, then the verb should be in the passive--was being driven--then it is
understood that someone was driving the car.
4. Verb tense: if we have a subject and want to use the
active voice, then the verb becomes “was driving”.
5. Word confusion: ‘to” is a preposition; here the
intensifier “too” is needed; it’s an adverb.
6. Word confusion: don’t confuse “of” and “off”.
7. Verb tense: “it’d skid” means “it had skid”--there is no
such verb form. The simple past is “skidded”.
8. Verb tense: the injury happened in the past, so use the
simple past tense--was injured.
9. Word form/order” “serious” is an adjective; the word
describes the verb ‘injure” so the adverb “seriously” is needed. Also note that
the adverb places between the two parts of this verb--was seriously injured.
10. Punctuation: Adjectives in a series are separated by
commas--the comma before the last one is optional. Also note that “two young
women” is an appositive, so set it off with commas.
Possible Answer: The exotic, imported, dark red, sports car
was being driven too fast when it skidded off the road, and the passengers, two
young women, were seriously injured.
