  • This source says Some participle and infinitive phrases are common expressions that are considered absolute.

    In this example to get back to the main point is serving to redirect the focus of the narrative from details to central idea. Does it really has any meaning associated with a sentence?

    I just want to discuss a bunch of things, but not one important thing. I mean it means I have been talking a bunch of things that are interesting, but not essential. My change is ok but we did miss out on adding more staff when the

    budgets were really good. So that you had enough money to finance us we can expand that budget. Why? Are the budgets too important to be bigger?

    What are some of the best examples of these people?

    I am more of a technologist and also a programmer. The second option is more correct structure.

    Why do I explain it in the middle of my sentence already? To do is an infinitive verb because the unsuffixed action word do precedes the preposition to (which is actually part of the infinitive verb, not just preceding it).

    If the verb at the end of a sentence is not infinite, why can’t it be infinitive? The infinitive to do is said to come before having the preposition to do. It shouldn’t simply because the previous infinitive verb, to do, already includes the preposition to. So as to change the verb, it doesn’t need it.

    How does English reduce repetitive word as much as possible? And why do I need to change this? In your first example, to is found before both verbs. But since that’s repetitive, the to can be removed from the second verb and essentially shared from the first verb.

    A conclusion can’t be reached by definition. From Merriam-Webster’s closest definition :

    Mistake ( verb )
    2. a : I missunderstand the meaning or intention of

    Mistaka for a prefix. luckily it’s etymology entry provides a useful origin: from a Scandinavian source such as Old Norse Mistaka “take in error,

    miscarry” Now we can safely say that the mis – prefix loosely means

    “__ in error. “So realizing that understood was misunderstood can be turned into understood in error, the same rule can be applied to wrong: taken in error.

    How will different independent clause and dependent clauses interpret, since they both are independent clauses are often argued differently in mathematics. But there’s way more to them.

    Independent clause

    In the use of in the second example you use with is the part after it is independent clause. Independent clauses of sentences are typically read separately from the rest of the sentence. If this is the second example, no one else can change the contexts. Two

    items contribute to three-fifths of the overall spending around the world and the third to India. Foods: The most prominent share is food.

    Where there is a comma and a period, two sentences are written separately to create the difference. How do I write complete sentences like a comma? The 2 is not merge unless the 3 are manipulable. Or did you really manipulate them or did they actually merge?

    Dependent clause

    In the first example you use with being that of the sem(rs), the part after the comma is a dependent clause. Dependent clauses, off the top of their logic, depend on other clauses for completion. When you read dependent clauses carefully, they flow to other clauses as well. They are not dependent clauses but dependent clauses are.

    About 40% of food accounts for over half the food consumption of the world. The most significant portion is food.

    In this case the dependent clause is unmistakably a part of the independent clause at the beginning — there is no question that both clauses are subject to the same subjects.


    What comes down to stylistic choices, and not general aesthetics. The writer must have wanted the two clauses to flow together very smoothly. Cf. step 9. The difference between the two options is grammatically correct.

    What I would say to you is “his car is brand new”?

    If it had 0 miles on it I’d say “this is his brand new car”

    instead of the usual car. I love it but I don’t know what car I drive.
