<p>how do you do this? I mean one of the question is like</p>

<p>No matter how cautious snowmobiles are driven, they are capable of damaing the land over which they travel. </p>

<p>How is cautious the incorrect ones? HOW??? Give me some tips on how to do this successfully</p>

<p>Like another one,</p>

<p>HOW IS THE WORD ITS AFTER VIRTUE OF INCORRECT? IT'S DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF THATS CORRECT</p>

2

<p>of THEIR size and... </p>

<p>plurality... subject verb agreement... pretty simple actually</p>

3

<p>how is the first one cautious?</p>

4

<p>No matter how cautious snowmobiles are driven, they are capable of damaging the land over which they travel. </p>

<p>"Cautious" is the problem. It refers to "are driven," which is a verb. "Cautious" is an adjective and cannot be used to modify a verb. Therefore, one should use the adverb, "cautiously."</p>

5

<p>Sponsors of the Olympic Games who bought advertising time on the United States television includes at least a dozen interational firms whose names are familiar to American consumers</p>

<p>How does includes be include? The subject is plural. Why is include, if it's plural, shouldn't include be plural too? </p>

<p>What's the difference between began and begun, whose and whom and who, and that singular has to be with plural subject</p>

6

<p>Sponsors of the Olympic Games who bought advertising time on the United States television includes at least a dozen interational firms whose names are familiar to American consumers.</p>

<p>"Sponsors" is the subject. "Includes" is the verb. The subject is plural, so the verb must be plural. The plural form is "include." If that confuses you, try replacing the subject with a pronoun. You would say "we include" or "they include" not "we includes."</p>

7

<p>Grammatix, buddy.</p>

<p>"Began" is the simple past. It has no linking verb. "Begun" is the present/past imperfect form and has a linking verb.</p>

<p>I began my test yesterday.
I had begun to take the test when the fire drill rang.
I have begun to read more often.</p>

9

<p>ohh thank you thank you. What's the difference in began and begun and who, whose, and whom?</p>

10

<p>"Whose" is a question word used when one is asking about possession.</p>

<p>Whose coat is this?
Whose dog is that over there?
Whose tickets are these?</p>

<p>"Who" is the nominative form. It is used for the subject or predicate nominative of the clause. </p>

<p>Who is that girl standing by the door?
Who ate my lunch?</p>

<p>"Whom" is the accusative/dative form. It is used for the direct object, indirect object, or object of a preposition.</p>

<p>You hit whom? or Whom did you hit?
To whom did you give the piece of paper?
You presented whom the award?</p>

11

<p>why can't you say who did you hit instead of whom did you hit. Im still confused</p>

12

<p>Whom did you hit?</p>

<p>In this sentence, "whom" is the direct object, the thing the verb is being done to. "You" is the subject. ONLY USE "WHO" IF IT'S THE SUBJECT OF THE SENTENCE!!! </p>

<p>What is doing the hitting? "You" are doing the hitting. "You" is the subject. The subject is not necessarily the first word in the sentence. </p>

<p>What is being hit? "Whom" is being hit. "Whom" is the direct object.</p>

<p>Again, substitute pronouns. You would say "I hit her" rather than "I hit she." Similarly, you would say "I hit whom?" rather than "I hit who?"</p>

<p>Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo</p>
