- The reason paper is white is because pores in its structure scatter light. My question is on details
1.🌷 Is there an omitting after ‘reason’ regarding to Noun Clause? 2.🌷Why ‘is’ used two times and which one is verb of the sentence? 3.🌷Why not use ‘to’ before ‘scatter’ even though scatter is a verb? Thank you…
Best answer
[The reason paper is white] = noun clause used as the subject [is] = the main verb of the sentence because = conjunction introducing a subordinate clause pores = subject of the subordinate clause in its structure = prepositional phrase modifying the subject scatter = verb of the subordinate clause light = direct object of the subordinate clause
- “There can be opportunities to be added to the material.”Why is ‘to be V3’used instead of ‘to add’?
Best answer
There can be opportunities to be added [by somebody] to the material. This sentence is passive and though the doer of the action is not written, it is implied that somebody does the action.
- Why not use “which” instead of “what“? —-> He pulled the cloth off what looked like a pie.”
Best answer
"What" is an interrogative pronoun while "which" may be used as interrogative pronoun or a relative pronoun. In the sentence "He pulled the cloth off which looked like a pie.", "which" is a relative pronoun used as the subject of the relative clause "which looked like a pie". This relative clause is used as an adjective clause modifying the noun "cloth". Better say "He pulled the cloth which looked like a pie off." or "He pulled off the cloth which looked like a pie."
