Is this sentence gramatically correct-the team are going to hospital for their annual check-up?

Answer 1

This sentence is grammatically correct British Standard English.

----

That sentence has incorrect grammar structure.

Your sentence is: The team are going to hospital for their annual check up.

First problem: The team are should be the team is going. The team is considered a single unit and needs to have verbs that reflect that.

Second problem: If the team members were going to get annual check ups you would need plural words and the word members. The sentence would read like this: "The team members are going to the hospital for their annual check ups."

Third problem: You must add the word "the" before hospital. In England, the Brits do not put the before hospital. However it is incorrect for them to do that and for us to say "to hospital" when we mean "the hospital."

Forth problem: The use of "their". If you are referring to team members you can use the term "their. If you are referring to the unit of the team you would write it this way. "The team is going to the hospital for its annual check up." Notice that check up is singular rather than plural in that sentence because it reflects the single unit of the team.
