... Romeo IS ..., (Romeo) USES  -- this is correct because the tense is consistent throughout (the present tense). I would suggest then that the grammatical "rule" would have to be called consistent tense.

Dude, I've read your question like 6 times and am still confused. How about correcting the grammar and spelling, then forming cohesive sentences.

No grammar error, but its awkward. Try this: "This article is written entirely in French"

Don't you know?\nDid you get the grammar wrong (if so congrats)\nIs this code for something?

Its: ''don't offer'' as offered is past tense ....the same applies to ''sentence'' !!

Your sentence structure is passive.  To make it active, make the subject of the sentence the administrators and people of the community instead of "the reason," which merely "is."  For example: "Administrators and people of the community hear the same laundry list of complaints from industry leaders in the community," or whatever it is your "reason" is.\n\nGood luck.

Very nice; you must have picked up on the hidden clue.\n\nFrankly, it all depends.  I personally am not very found of grammatical rules, as they seem to be inherently limiting.  As far as I am concerned, you can throw the majority of those rules out the window, as long as you can express yourself clearly and be easily understood.   Case in point: Linguists and English professors do NOT usually make great writers, do they?   In principle, of course, one can always make a strong formal English punctuation argument in favor of your choice "b".  But to me "a" looks much "prettier".   So the question is: Should we keep shoving food into our mouths, mindlessly chewing, and promptly swallowing till our stomachs are full, or should we try to eat less, but eat with our eyes and palates too?   I suppose, it all depends on the circumstances and your point of view.   For instance, if you end up in a hospital with a sever case of malnutrition and dehydration, they “ain’t” “gonna” care much about how you are gonna eat or drink, as long as they end up pumping enough liquids and nutrients into you to save your life.   ... The punctuation waters start getting even murkier as more and more people begin to impose their own rules and restrictions on-line.   Ironically-enough (notice I said Ironically-enough and NOT anomalously-enough LOL) take your own example in this here on-line Y!A milieu, for instance.    The Y!A software will automatically add a question mark (i.e. a "?") to the end of every statement posted, no matter what you do, and be it really a question or NOT!  (And still, they dare to complain that some of those questions aren’t exactly questions)!  LOL    Hence, in a Y!A environment at least, both your choices would be forced into a punctually incorrect stratosphere (for "a" would become "lovelorn"??, and "b" would be transformed into "lovelorn?"?) and the only correct choice would appear to be “the initially incorrect one”, namely just “lovelorn”.  … Now, go figure!   LOL     … Yes my friend, even the oracle should strive for anomalism, at times.  :-)

first of all, you spelled grammar wrong\n\nok:\n\n1. A wheel fell on me during soccer practice today.\n\n2. They ride their bikes really well.\n\n3. Sally's bike broke down, and I left her there.

Here is a website with punctuation and grammar rules that I've used before:\n\nhttp://www.davidappleyard.com/english/punctuation.htm

The first one is correct.\n\nThe second would be correct if you changed the is to has.\n\nHTH

Have someone you know help you form a full sentence and use correct punctuation...I don't have a clue what the hell you just tried to ask!

not a bad question, just not proper grammar =)

I have never heard of this rule before, and I'm a grammar teacher, so I don't think anyone will get mad if you violate it.\n\nHowever, the form of your sentence that would fit the rule would be: "Come to Manchester, in which we will meet some interesting people."\n\nIt doesn't really do anything for me, either.

Okay...serious grammar....\n\nFirst, you cannot put a comma after town. Second, the rules have changed in regards to a series of items. You must put a comma before the conjunction ("and"). (When I went to school, it was against the rules. Now, it is against the rules NOT to use it.)\n\nThe grammar problem you have is called parallelism. When you are listing items, they must have the same structure. (For example, you wouldn't say, "I like to go to the beach, to the mountains, and shopping at the mall." You would need to change "shopping at the mall" to match the other structures. "I like to go to the beach, to the mountains, and to the mall.")\n\nThe above sentence is an easy example. Let's look at your three items in your list: \n\n-low crime rates\n-a good school district\n-is in good standing with the city\n\nIs it easier to see the error that way? If not, take the first part of the sentence, "It is...has" and attach it to each of the listed items. (For example, "It is a secluded part of town that has low crime rates.)  I'm sure you'll be able to see the error now.\n\nI better structure would be, "It is a secluded part of town that has low crime rates, a good school district, and an excellent reputation." (I couldn't come up with another word for "in good standing.")\n\nI hope this helps. Parallelism is a common error, but not always addressed.

I HATE it when they omit the comma.  It makes me confused.  I start to wonder if the last two items are more closely related than the other items.  But every time I try to argue about this to somebody, they tell me to stop being so stuck up about grammar when my own isn't so good.  So I just keep quiet and ignore it.
