<p>The poem's colorful images and its verbal wit give the reader pleasure.</p>
<p>supposedly this is correct, shouldnt it be "gives" though? because of verbal wit being singular?</p>
<p>It’s plural becuase there are two subjects - the images and the wit.</p>
<p>reader is singular. It is singular because it is referring to the reader</p>
<p>…ok if it is singular it should be gives
…
if its plural then its give!!</p>
<p>also
im not sure but when theres “and” i think the second one is the one that determines the subject verb?</p>
<p>The subject is “colourful images AND verbal wit”, so plural, so give.</p>
<p>oh ok thank you</p>
<p>if u guys dont mind, two more questions are bugging me.</p>
<p>After Gertrude Ederle had swam the english channel, she was celebrated…blah blah blah</p>
<p>“had swam” is incorrect in this phrase, wut should it be?</p>
<p>also</p>
<p>Available through the school’s guidance office is a job directory and a list of job referral centers that provide information for students in need of employment.</p>
<p>'IS" is incorrect in this sentence, once again, why?</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>the second part determines the verb only if the conjuction is an “or”. In this case it is an “and” so that would not apply to this problem.
The answer is give</p>
<h1>1 should be “had swum” because the tense is past perfect (had+past participle) and the past participle of swim is “swum”</h1>
<h1>2 what’s available? a job directory AND a list of job referral centres so you need to say “available… are a job directory AND a list of job referral centres”</h1>
<p>lol thanks real help
i just thought “are a” sounded real awkward, but i guess thats just me.</p>
<p>haha i was planning on not asking too many questions but since u guys are so godly, a couple more plz? =p</p>
<p>the exchange between the teacher and the student promotes learning far different from that which results as the student listens but does not participate.</p>
<p>that is a confusing sentence first of all, i thought it should be “far differently” but the answer is “as”. so wut should “as” be? i was thinking “where”? am i right?</p>
<p>2." whether the ancient egyptians actually sailed or did not" to south america remains uncertain, but kobe bryants expedition demonstrated that they could have done so.</p>
<p>used kobe, cause other name was too long</p>
<p>the answer is “That the ancient egyptians actually sailed”</p>
<p>can u really start a sentence with that phrase?</p>
<h1>1 it should be “results when” not “results as”. i’m not sure about far different as it’s not a phrase i would normally use but google shows that “far different” can be used in that context</h1>
<h1>2 yes you can start a sentence with “that”. actually, a lot of people use “the fact that…” which is superfluous–“that” would be sufficient, although some people think “that” sounds weird</h1>
<p>oh ok thanks
also u said swum is a past participle, so wut participle would swam be?
and what did u score on the writing section lol?</p>
<p>swam is just the past simple

<p>i scored a 760W</p>
<p>oh k
participle is the same thing as perfect right?</p>
<p>umm… grammar terminology. present perfect, past perfect are the names of the TENSES. past participle, present participle are the names of the VERB FORMS that correspond.</p>
