<p>Yay injennious!!! Im so happy!!! Salt spray <3</p>
<p>Reading, St.Kiss r w/e. Which quote was the closest to main theme?</p>
<p>@Syndekit: the answer is similar sized because in the next sentence it states something along the lines of, “The golden spruces are not distinguishable in size or shape from the surrounding trees. But from the ground, people stop and stare with awe at the golden color of the spruces.” Also the answer choice was “It can be seen from the air”, which is false because it states it is distinguishable from the ground.</p>
<p>Please everybody listen! Begun must have an auxiliary verb before it when it is used. It did not in the sentence we are arguing about. Thus, it is wrong.</p>
<p>syndekit you are so stubborn and wrong. i bet you a winning lottery ticket that i am RIGHT along with injennious and marinebio</p>
<p>syndekit your right !!!</p>
<p>If we’re using forum links to argue the began/begun case, here’s a link where someone tells whether to use began or begun in an appositive (answer: begun): [url=<a href=“Post Not Found”>Began/Begun?]Began/begun[/url</a>]</p>
<p>The key thing that needs to be pointed out here, which Marinebio did point out, is the fact that it’s an appositive.</p>
<p>I’ll try finding a more legit link, but I’m fairly sure that’s correct. If not, I’ll admit I’m totally wrong, haha.</p>
<p>did u guys get ‘nearly mature’ for the baby corn one? that sounded weird, but the others didn’t make sense to me.</p>
<p>@Syndekit: The answer is begun.
The ritual, begun by Jake, was succesful
^^ is a gramatically correct statement and yes the answer was begun for sure.
And all those people arguing about 30.1, the answer IS 30.1 PERIOD</p>
<p>Even though I put down begun, I believe the correct answer is began.</p>
<p>I have conceded previous questions but nobody is listening to what I have to say.
Hitchcock begun the movie or hitchcock began the movie? The latter.</p>
<p>think about it. the director’s acting, begun out of necessity, was lalalala.
replace it with an equivalent such as done: the director’s acting, done out of necessity, was lalala. Makes sense</p>
<p>you wouldn’t say: th director’s acting, did out of necessity, lalala which is in the same tense as began</p>
<p>either way the other options were had begin, had began, so the answer is most probably begun. (NOTE: i sounded pretty cocky on last post :P)</p>
<p>I just want to say that I’m not trying to be a jerk (euphemism) or anything but I am fairly certain that it is begun. Check this link:</p>

<p>“Participle clauses can begin with a present participle (doing), a past participle (done), or a perfect participle (having done).”</p>
<p>i feel much better about science after talking about it with yall!!!</p>
<p>OOOooooooooooooooooooh and what was the answer to the question from Of Mice and Men, is he the only director or one of the directors in the summer theatre.</p>
<p>Alright, can we just settle this? It’s 30.1 and begun, haha. End of discussion :P</p>
<p>its begun, end of story, shuddup and move on yall!</p>
<p>‘nearly mature’ anyone?</p>
<p>(I hope I’m not coming across as a jerk either. xD)</p>
<p>But yes, what akshayp just linked, and here: [Other</a> Phrases: Verbal, Appositive, Absolute - TIP Sheets - Butte College](<a href=“http://www.butte.edu/departments/cas/tipsheets/grammar/phrases.html]Other”>Other Phrases: Verbal, Appositive, Absolute - TIP Sheets - Butte College)</p>
<p>Syndekit, you’re 100% right that begun is a past participle. However, if you read the examples, you can see that in appositives, past participles can be used without the had/have/etc.</p>
<p>i.e.
“The lake froze.” vs.
“The lake, frozen due to the cold weather, was perfect for skating on.”</p>
<p>So it would be “Hitchcock began using cameos” but not “These cameos, began out of necessity…”.</p>
<p>edit// yeah, I’m done with this, haha. The ACT gods shall decide.</p>
