My daughter's teacher wants this sentence corrected...?

them are going with sue and fred to see the movie, shrek

Her teacher said there are 7 mistakes and we found eight. This is how we fixed it...

They are going with Sue and Fred to see the movie, "Shrek".

Capital T - 1

them to They - 2

Capital S - 3

Capital F - 4

" - 5

" - 6

Capital S - 7

Period - 8

Would the quotations add up as 1 correction? That's the only thing I could see that would add up as 7 necessary corrections. She would really appreciate some help...a mother's help is not enough!

Update:

Thanks to all...That's what I told her but she insisted I was wrong. She said her teacher would count that as 2. I'll let her read all your answers!!

    Yes the quotations would add up to just one correction. Because you never add just one... that would look weird!

    In my opinion, putting quotations around something is just one correction. You don't ever see one quotation mark without its pair. :)
