subject/predicate

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

subject/predicate

Post by Cristina Corui Mihailescu »

Dear all,
Which do you see as the subject in this sentence? I considered it to be THE HEAT, the editor saw the dunes as the subject, and so there was no agreement between the subject and predicate.
The dunes in the heat that makes running feel like flowing...
I feel so stupid!
And I will never learn the English rules for commas, it seems...I lost hundreds of points only for commas!
