In Nouns^x, Paragraphs^x

you mean A? but the paragraph does not talk about the use of a building. Well, somewhere it tells us about a hotel, but not its use I think. I would think what has been cited in the paragraph to be the things which an engineer would take into consideration when building a building rather than the...

Dear Beverly, I am not an English expert, (far from it, I too suck at writing and am a terrible speller and it is my first and only language!) but if I were to judge you by your letter and the writing skills demonstrated there....Well I'm sorry to say but you are not writing at a level that...

Here are a few suggestions. First, change increased to increase. The company's increase by over 200 percent. "Long- or short-term trend" might work better than your "only a sudden case." Then you have a series of adverb clauses. I'd separate them with semicolons. It will be easier to read...

is it grammatical to put a gerundive modifier directly to a noun to be modified? I would say yes. You could probably find more examples of the same structure. You may debate whether the following sentence follows the structure you have in mind (maybe it's not "gerundive" enough), but I...

Americans only use "practice" for both noun and verb, so I'll leave that aspect of your question to others. People are practising cricket (Or: Cricket practice will be held) this Sunday at 9 am at the Student Recreation Complex grounds*. Anybody who is interested in practising the game before...

"People are practising cricket this sunday at 9 am at Student Recreation Complex ground. Anybody who is interested in practising the game before the tournament next week are invited to join the practise match. This will be a good training session to learn the game for people who haven't played...
