1 Incorrect: This sentence is incorrect. The verb "to frown" is never directly followed by the preposition "to" (we do not frown to somebody). To "frown" is to show a facial expression of "displeasure" or "dislike", it is usually followed by the prepositions "at" or "upon", for example: My daughter frowns at me every time I tell her to go to bed.
1 Correct: This sentence is not correct.
2 Correct: This sentence is correct. The term "to frown upon (or on) something" is to disapprove of it. For example: The famous London store Harrods frowns on customers wearing shorts. To "frown" is to show disapproval or displeasure using a facial expression.
2 Incorrect: This sentence is not incorrect.
3 Correct: This sentence is correct. A "frown" is a facial expression that expresses sadness, dissatisfaction, anger, worry, or pain. It is often synonymous with the term "scowl" (also a verb and a noun), and is either the opposite of a smile, or the "wrinkling" of the "brow". Another example: We'll turn that frown upside down (= we'll make you smile).
3 Incorrect: This sentence is not incorrect.
