What is wrong with this sentence?
Why can’t I be more

my class more consisting of boys than girls?
I would say these two sentences are potentially correct, yet I have been told by my lecturer that the 2nd one is actually an incorrect sentence.
Please can someone give me some arguments for how to come up with this sentence that’s correct? Why is it that a person can say something is wrong?

I think this is what your instructor was driving at: The second sentence can be written with a period and spoken. What is the formative “there are”? How
should be the verbal tones used to form a verbal question? Wikipedia explains the phenomenon like
this: Intonation patterns characteristic of questions often involve a raised pitch near the end of the sentence. In English, this occurs especially for yes–no questions; it may also be used for sentences that don’t have the grammatical form of questions, but are nonetheless intended to elicit information, as in “you’re not using this”? What
is a declarative

things about myself get punished”
Is there something wrong with the second example?
If a rising tone is used at the end of the sentence, it means the statement is meant as a question. This would indicate the statement is meant as a question or an answer.
Why your instructor thinks it isn’t correct? I have no idea. How would you introduce simpler constructions at this stage in your English education?
