✔ 最佳答案
Kate stated that workmanship on the paved tiles at the G/F of Sing Ping House was very poor. HKCN replied that they would redo the tile paving.

Grammar:
workmanship 是 uncountable noun. 應該使用單數動詞 (singular verb )
Kate 意見 (評價) 陳述不是現在, 可能數天前, ( stated 是 past tense)
"was" agrees with "stated".
"would redo" agrees with "replied".

Usage:
我要 rephrase 過 workmanship
通常 workmanship 這樣用
workmanship of the object.........
workmanship on .........
...... in workmanship

比較很少用 compound nouns, "paved tiles workmanship" (三個字一起)

G/F 是否代表 the floor of the building at ground level?

... on ground floor

請留心the paved tiles workmanship的主詞是workmanship(工藝/俗稱「手工」)是單數詞,雖然所談及的裝修是tiles,但poor(不好/差勁)的是workmanship,所以不應用are very poor而是is very poor.

第二句冇錯。
