Could you correct my sentence?
1. Mixing glycerin with dish soap and water creates makes the bubbles with high surface tension so that they can bounce without popping easily.I took the liberty to change certain parts of the sentence. For example, I believe we are not referring to the strength of an object, which is the load it can withstand before it snaps. Instead, we are referring to this scientific phenomena known as surface tension that binds the surface of a liquid tightly. In your sentence, I believe you would like to refer to this special property (of surface tension) which enables the bubbles to bounce without popping. To this end, I used the phrase "so that" to refer to a result.
2. Put on the gloves or a the socks.
Some items are made and used in pairs (e.g scissors) or fit both the left and right sides of our bodies (e.g pants, socks, gloves, glasses etc.) Therefore, "gloves" and "socks" should be spelled with a final "s".
There are people who wear only one glove on one hand. In this context, "glove" is possible. However, I believe it's quite unlikely for someone to wear only one sock.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Lance
