- “Endurance is the ability to do something that’s hard.” My question is on details.🌷 Thank you.🌷
Why ‘that is’ used? Because, sentence already include a subject, ‘is’ which follows endurance. Is there an omitting after ‘something’ related to Adjective (Relative) Clause? Thank you🌷
Best answer
"that is " can be omitted as it refers to "something". so the sentence will be "Endurance is the ability to do something hard." and it's all because of indefinite pronoun like "something, somewhere, somebody ". for example, We're going to go somewhere nice this summer (we're going to go somewhere that is nice ) . let's do something cool ( let's do something that is cool)
Best answer
Themself is not really used, it would refer to the individual as herself or himself. Themselves is plural so therefore refers to him and her and them.
- 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."
Best answer
You use "between" in reference to two objects. You use "among" in reference to more than two objects.
