It's incorrect because an approach is a way of going about solving a problem or performing a task. So the word approach is used completely differently from means . approach has a meaning that makes no sense in that blank space. What approach does your teacher take to teaching relative clauses? The scientists took a new approach to solving the problem.

It's true the comma isn't needed, but that the difference between what the rulebook says is correct (don't separate the subject from the verb with a comma) and using writing to read the way it would sound; there would naturally be a pause there, and the comma makes that clear.

Welcome to the Forums. Being is not used too often with just as it has been mentioned earlier. But the one use of "be" in Progressive is to convey (usually someone behavious) situation when someone acts odd. John is always late. That's him. (It's usual of him. He never gets beforehand).

" I am not able to concentrate on my studies." This is the only correct form. " I am not being able to concentrate on my studies."

The commander arrested the villager as a reprisal for taking part in a peaceful protest against his misdeeds. 2. The commander arrested the villager in reprisal for taking part in a peaceful protest against his misdeeds. 3. The commander arrested the villager to avenge his participation in a peaceful protest against his (commander’s) misdeeds. 4. The commander arrested the villager to take avenge for his participation in a peaceful protest against his (commander’s) misdeeds. Are these four sentences grammatically correct?
