confused of Complex sentence structure

Post by alekarasma »

Hello Everyone,
I am confused by the sentence structure.

Sentence 1: For keeping oneself active and energized throughout the day because of busy schedule for everyone including children's and adults’, one needs good nutritional food, which one can get from good planned balanced diet.

Sentence 2: For keeping oneself active and energized throughout the day because of everyone’s busy schedule including children's and adults’, one needs good nutritional food, which one can get from good planned balanced diet.

I got the answer from my friend that sentence 2 is correct and sentence 1 does not sound correct, but she is not able to explain it. Can someone explain which of the two is correct and why?

And how can I apply complex sentence (SVO/SVOVO/SVSVO) methodology here?

Thank you very much.

Regarding the bold type phrase, #2.

#1 is grammatically incorrect, since it lacks an article before the countable noun 'schedule' and is semantically strange since the schedule is considered as belonging to everyone (i.e. it should be qualified using the possessive form "everyone's"), rather than being 'for everyone'.
