A few questions

Expert replies

Hey Guys I have a few questions for you and would be very grateful if you shared your thoughts.

1. Is "Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than face low salaries in the city."

just as good as

"Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than to face low salaries in the city."

??


2. Is this sentence ambiguous or not?:

"Supernovas destroy their immediate environments in vast explosions, but by synthesizing heavy chemical elements, they provide the universe with the possibility of biochemistry-based life as we know it."


3. Are the following sentences correct:
"Every dog and cat has paws."
"Three kids each run fast."
"Three kids each of which runs fast."?


4. What is the difference between "one another" and "each other"?

5. Ambiguous or not?:
"We finally chose the coffee table towards the back of the store, because we thought it would complement our living room furniture"

6. last but not least: Is "police" always usided with a plural verb?



Thanks a bunch!

Yes, both are just fine. But, when you have both the options available, the first one is preferable. The "to face" is implicity understood.

"Supernovas destroy their immediate environments in vast explosions, but by synthesizing heavy chemical elements, they provide the universe with the possibility of biochemistry-based life as we know it."
Yes, the "they" in the second clause is ambigous and can refer to either the Supernovas or the chemical elements.

"Three kids each run fast."
"Three kids each of which runs fast."?
"Every dog and cat has paws." - Correct
"Three kids each run fast." - Correct
"Three kids each of which runs fast." - Incorrect It should be "Three kids each of who run fast" (but this is a sentence fragment, because it does not express a complete thought, so incorrect anyway).

"We finally chose the coffee table towards the back of the store, because we thought it would complement our living room furniture"
Whenever you see pronouns like in the above statement, ask the question as to what it refers to. ex: What would complement the living room furniture? From the sentence, the pronoun "it" can refer to either the coffee table or the store.
Svedankae wrote: 6. last but not least: Is "police" always usided with a plural verb?
Yes, police is a plural word.
e.g. I reported it to the police. The police came.

But what is the singular of police? A policeman, or a policewoman or a police officer.
e.g. I reported it to the police. A policeman came and took further particulars.

IMO

Police is coming to rescue the victim. Is it wrong? i think police could be singular or plural based on usage.


Three kids each of which runs faster is correct. each of which acts as a distributive determiner

face each other and to face each other, i think "to" is needed to make it parallel in the sentence.

X rather than Y, X and Y needs to be same form (noun)
