What is the problem with this sentence There encouraging words from your classmates?

The sentence "There encouraging words from your classmates?" is grammatically incorrect and lacks a subject. Here's why:

* Missing Subject: The sentence needs a subject to perform the action. We don't know who or what is doing the encouraging.

* Incorrect Verb Usage: "There" is not a proper verb. It's an expletive that introduces a sentence, but it doesn't carry the action.

Possible Corrections:

* "There are encouraging words from your classmates." This adds the subject "words" and the verb "are" to create a complete sentence.

* "Your classmates are offering encouraging words." This clarifies the subject (classmates) and the action (offering words).

* "Your classmates are encouraging." This is a shorter, more direct way to express the same idea.

The best option depends on the context and the intended meaning.
