I could not follow the first point here on the usage of namely.

Could you please help me to understand better.

Thanks,
Shobha
the first point says:
* "namely" should come before one of the following:
- a noun
- some other construction that functions as a noun (such as a gerund or noun phrase)
- a clause preceded by "that"

* "namely" should not be followed by a complete sentence ("independent clause"), by itself (without "that").

which part are you having trouble with?
I was not aware of grammar rules on usage of "namely" as well as "with"

I was also wondering how "that "could work. But in your previous posts to Hrishi you made it clear.

Now I understand.

Thanks a lot .

Regards,
Shobha.

Sorry for opening this dead thread..
does this mean that this cant be used for the fact about fraternal twins as it hasbeen used as a adjective rather than a demonstrative pronoun?
