By Pronouns, Commas

'Precious' is too strong a word-- it sounds overly sycophantic.Yes, 'to which' probably refers to 'a phase' if we must select a word (the commas are strange and distracting) in #1-- but it could as well refer to 'Art'. In cannot be 'life' because we do not turn to life in moments of leisure!In...

Hello, this is my first post here, I like to know these wordskilometercentimeterAre those words noun if they are standing alone ? if it's, what kind of noun it's, proper noun or abstract noun or etc ?After that, I want to indentify the part of speech of the following sentence by using the...

Both sound correct to me (just capitalize the personal pronoun 'i' and add a comma before 'guys').

Hi, I know the logic of comma splice. but can I do this using a pronoun? My wife has a USA made computer, I have Chinese made one. (I think I can omit the 'a' befoer 'Chinese made.' No, you can't.) Or a conjunction is still needed? You still need a conjunction, whether it's a noun or a...

I have merged these threads so answers are in the same place, but yes, please follow Marius's kind advice - don't post the same question twice. The pronoun "it" can't be used to refer back to its antecedent in a dependent clause. For example:I bought a new house. My new house is green.I bought...

Hi CLThere is some disagreement on the omission of relatives, but a relative can usually be omitted in a restrictive relative clause (= no comma) in the following cases:1. the relative is an object: He is the man wants to talk to you.CheersCB

Sorry for my error. I meant to replace say 'he.' In which case I wonder about the comma? I would think that you would use a comma because there are two independent clauses and the pronoun is restated, but I'm not entirely sure. The goat ran around the yard and 'he' broke through the...
