To determine which sentences are grammatically incorrect, let's analyze each one:

a. Robert forced the sheriff go.

  • Incorrect: The verb "force" requires an infinitive with "to" after it. The correct sentence should be "Robert forced the sheriff to go."

b. Napoleon forced Josephine to go.

  • Correct: This sentence correctly uses the infinitive "to go" after "forced."

c. The Devil made Faust go.

  • Correct: The verb "make" is correctly followed by the base form of the verb without "to."

d. He passed by a large sum of money.

  • Correct: This sentence is grammatically correct, meaning he went past a large sum of money.

e. He came a large sum of money by.

  • Incorrect: The correct phrase is "came by a large sum of money," meaning he acquired it.

f. Did in a corner little Jack Horner sit?

  • Incorrect: The word order is awkward. The correct sentence should be "Did little Jack Horner sit in a corner?"

g. Dizabeth is resembled by George.

  • Incorrect: The verb "resemble" is not used in the passive voice. The correct sentence should be "George resembles Dizabeth."

h. Nancy is eager to please.

  • Correct: This sentence is grammatically correct.

i. It is easy to frighten Emily.

  • Correct: This sentence is grammatically correct.

j. Being you being late to class is surprising.

  • Incorrect: The structure is awkward and redundant. A clearer sentence would be "You being late to class is surprising."

k. Has the nurse slept the baby yet?

  • Incorrect: The verb "sleep" is not used transitively in this context. The correct sentence should be "Has the nurse put the baby to sleep yet?"

l. A glass tipped over which was full of water.

  • Incorrect: The relative clause is misplaced. The correct sentence should be "A glass which was full of water tipped over."

m. I was surprised for you to get married.

  • Incorrect: The preposition "for" is not used correctly here. The correct sentence should be "I was surprised that you got married."
