How do I fix this sentence:
The purpose of the microscope was invented to allow people to see tiny things.

 

[Barb_D]

The subject is "The purpose of the microscope."

The verb is "was invented."

Do you think "purposes" are "invented"?

Either choose a different phrase for your subject and keep "was invented" OR keep "The purpose of the microscope" and choose a different verb phrase.

Remove "The purpose of".
