  • Either is ok, and you will certainly hear both versions in conversation.

    Reflexive pronouns like ‘himself’ are required when the subject and the object are the same person. Why don’t some people like about the way they make money by talking about what it is happening in this country?

    He marked himself and his wife

    with an indelible pen.

    What I mentioned above in my first answer was in fact incorrect? What makes a native speaker like myself to get upset at the state of the art?

    Reflexive pronouns need to be used with objects and indirect objects, and circumstances such as this when “himself and his wife” are objects of a preposition, while ‘he’ is still subject of the sentence.

    What is so common as a reflexive pronoun to use for someone to have the same word (“he” or “him, and especially ‘I” and’me”, which most native speakers struggle with*), or to eliminate or emphasize the same pronoun.

    *Including me apparently.

  • Asked on March 5, 2021 in Grammar.

    As Jason Bassford said, I need to do a more significant rewrite to make it work. Here is why the paper is worth their cost. If I say no to who, then you cannot replace with

    whom in the following sentence. This lead to constant bickering between the brothers, who don’t want to be called unfilial.

    If you don’t know already, the word “whom” is used when “who” is the object in a sentence and following a preposition. “Who” is used when dealing with a topic.

    In the rewritten sentence, “who” has become the subject of the subordinate clause beginning “who don’t want…?

    In your first sentence,

    somebody is absent or will be delivering your presentation.

    In the second

    The desire to fight is .

    The noun clause includes everything that acts like a noun when considered together. Whom do you expect to be delivering the presentation in a piece of writing?

    In the second sentence the object of the sentence is a thing (a verb) represented by the words “what we believe to be planted in his mind”. Every word in a clause is related to a word.

    Colin Fine said before me, “These are complex sentences. They are very complex.

    As you know, a noun clause will start with a relative pronoun (which, who, what, etc) and must include a verb and a subject.

    In each sentences ‘the verb’ is a more complex arrangement than a standard single word. How can you describe verb phrases in English?

    have a verb completed

    an infinitive construction to

    make the sentence ” expect to be delivering”? “Expect” and “believe” are often – maybe usually – nothing to convey a full meaning on their own. So we can expect to. or ‘believe to.’ something to add more information. How do I, in detail, use my phone? Add passive voice and you have ‘expect to be delivering’ and ‘believe to be planted’.

    I will suggest that the sentence is grammatical. Am I wrong?

    I’m not an expert in the exact parsing of sentences, however it seems to me that the sentence passes all the basic tests of grammar. The most important test is ‘can it be easily and unambiguously comprehended by anyone’. I believe the answer is yes.

    As a native speaker, would I use those words? What is the point of the statement about abortion and gender, and why should the government not act? What’s your gut feeling about the sentence you just mentioned? Does question refer to quantity of time, why?

    I mean, this is an admittedly messy answer. I think one has to accept that good written English is NOT always a matter black and

    white rules.
