It constantly generates about 12 watts of energy, which is enough to keep a flashlight glowing. Are they the same? Thank you BW2/3 Joined on Sat, Oct 22 2005 Contributing Member 1,283 Carpe diem!!

	BW2/3  +  308815 Sat, 30 Dec 06 03:00 PM Thank you all, Why is the author did not include 'which is ' in the first sentence? To me, it is easier for me to understand if he has written down. BW2/3

	Vanyatka  +  308894 Sat, 30 Dec 06 06:39 PM In the first sentence the second part refers to the noun energy, while in the second it describes whole first part. In other words, 1st sentence: 12 watts of energy is enough 2st sentence: Generating 12 watts of energy is enough (probably there is an additional source of energy). But it's simpler to say that they mean the same and that the 2nd form is used more often ps. "Non matching quote blocks in post" didn't allow to insert quotes in Firefox2.
