In the context of the following sentence the author uses a parenthetical phrase to refer to the 'thought' presented by a prepositional phrase (the 'thought' being "making marijuana a cash crop"): In light of the potential for the government-sanctioned sale of marijuana to end California's economic woes, Governor Schwarzenegger is calling for an in-depth analysis of the obvious and real fiscal benefits of making marijuana a cash crop -- a process that would require legalization and taxation of a substance currently listed as a...http://www.englishforums.com/English/SentenceStructure/wrkgv/post.htmFri, 13 Feb 2009 05:37:37 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:671164meimei miandianrenpls check the following sentence. i want to know that it is using for only conservation or writing the letter. and then which is more polite to say?

Thanks. Unemployment and inflation are two well-known topics that are often discussed. However, many people do not know that unemployment and inflation have strong influence on each other. Unemployment basically means that number of people who have no job or seeking employment. Conversely, a constant increase in over all “price level” is called inflation (Colander, 157). Unemployment and inflation are both examples of macroeconomic instability. This report will discuss unemployment and inflation’s relationship, affects, and their results on our economic system, our society, and on the population on the basis of the chapter six “Unemployment and Inflation” from the Real World...http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseHelpMeRephraseThis/grhcq/post.htmMon, 21 Apr 2008 04:04:20 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:503199marvinthemartianConsider the following sentence: "The ambassador gained the trust of the soldiers when he personally attended to one of their wounded comrades". The problem with this sentence is that it implies that there was more than one wounded soldier on the scene. Using the same sentence structure, how can I indicate that, although there may have been more than one wounded soldier, the ambassador was only aware of the one he helped? I thought of "The ambassador gained the trust of the soldiers when he personally attented to one of their comrades who was wounded", but it sounds a bit awkward. I also considered saying "The ambassador gained the trust of the soldiers when he personally attended to a wounded man", but...http://www.englishforums.com/English/ToOrAnd/zllkr/post.htm#497861Tue, 08 Apr 2008 02:09:14 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:497861marvinthemartianFor some reason, this simple problem continues to puzzle me. It's been rattling around in my head for months now. Here's another example that I find problematic. I can't decide which structure to use. Let's imagine the following situation: a waiter in a hotel is asked by the maitre d' to clear the tables. Which of the following sentences should the waiter's response be? "As soon as the guests have departed..." a) "(...) I will go and clear the tables." b) "(...) I will go clear the tables." c) "(...) I will go to clear the tables." This is just a random example, but it's really confusing me. All three options sound fitting to me, particularly the first and...http://www.englishforums.com/English/PleaseCheckingGrammerMistakes-Thanks/zmzxb/post.htm#478404Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:17:39 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:478404bernice.farrugiaBelow is the real-life story ofmy classmate, Susan who used to be my best friend. She always used to hand in her homework on time. Everyone thought she was a good student but unfortunately this stopped being a fact 2 years ago. One day, I saw Susan walking with her friends on the opposite side of the street, so I walked up to her. One of her friends took out a packet of cigarettes and asked us whether we wanted. I told him I didn’t smoke. Then he gave a cigarette to Susan and told her to try smoking. Susan didn’t refuse at that time, instead she asked him if he had a light. I was really shocked. She started smoking due to peer pressure and in no time she became addicted to it. Susan’s health took a turn for the worse when she started...http://www.englishforums.com/English/Tenses/zmgrb/post.htm#478312Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:27:34 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:478312bernice.farrugia1. ...have promised to inform people (the people?) about the beginning of the strike... - In this case both people and the people are accepted. The use of the makes your sentence more specific since it would be directly referring to the group of people who will be effected by the strike. However, it is not considered a mistake to keep your sentence general by not using the article the. 2. At dawn however railwaymen, breaking their promise, stop work without … - I would keep it simple and simple say 'At dawn, however, railwaymen, breaking their promise, stop work without informing the public' . Do not forget that the first part of the sentence already includes a complicated sentence structure, so it makes more sence to simplify...
