Using 'young' this way usually refers to babies , but a kangaroo usually bears only one baby at a time. Therefore, it would be better to refer to all kangaroos in general in this sentence. (b) The mother kangaroo keeps / put her joey/baby in her pouch. ( Note that there are differences in meaning and tense between keeps and put . ) (c) The kangaroo put its young (kangaroo) to the pouch . (d) The young kangaroo is in its / her mother's pouch. (e) The young kangaroo is sitting in the pouch. This is not a good usage of the verb sit . (f) The mother kangaroo keeps its her young in her pouch. See my comment about the word 'young' in sentence (...http://www.englishforums.com/English/KangarooKeepPut/zkhrm/post.htm#468776Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:07:55 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:468776Anonymous1http://www.englishforums.com/English/KangarooKeepPut/zkhrm/post.htm#468776http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-468776.xml(a) The kangaroo keeps its young (kangaroo) in its pouch. yes (b) The mother kangaroo keeps / put her young in her pouch. yes, although puts describes an action. (c) The kangaroo put its young (kangaroo) to the pouch. No 'to' is incorrect. (d) The young kangaroo is in its / her mother's pouch. yes (e) The young kangaroo is sitting in the pouch. yes (f) The mother kangaroo keeps its young in her pouch. yes but it is odd to mix its with her. How do I say for "young kangaroo"? Got any words to replace it? They are called joeys.http://www.englishforums.com/English/KangarooKeepPut/zkhrm/post.htmTue, 26 May 2009 15:07:55 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:468770Vincent Teo2http://www.englishforums.com/English/KangarooKeepPut/zkhrm/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-468770.xmlCan I say, (a) The kangaroo keeps its young (kangaroo) in its pouch.
