As I mentioned earlier, we are facing some technical issues due to which the verb errors lessons are not online right now.

Please wait till next week when they will be up and running.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Everyone,

I have now posted a lesson for Verb errors as tested on GMAT.

This lesson will provide you with a process to identify and correct verb errors. You will also be able to practice your skills through a quiz that is included at the end of the lesson.

If you want a refresher on verb tenses you may view this supplement lesson:

Do you think the first one in Example 3 is a Clause?

Do you think the first CLAUSE you mentioned in the image is a clause? A clause should have a Subject and a predicate. This is not to confront you. You are doing an amazing job. But I want to clarify with you.

Hi Umaa,

Thanks for your query. And what you ask is a good question.

The first clause in the image below is indeed a clause. It is a dependent clause.

"Which buildings had been palaces,temples,...

A clause should have a subject and a verb and this clause has both -

Subject = buildings
Verb = had been

The use of word "which" makes it a dependent clause.

Imagine if this clauses were written as
"These buildings had been palaces, temples..."
it would have conveyed the complete meaning. But if we add the word "which" prior to it, it becomes an incomplete idea and hence a dependent clause.

You may also have a concern about Clause 2 -

"has taken some time to sort out"

The above is not a complete clause by itself since it is missing a subject - But if we look at it with Clause 1 - we will notice that clause 1 actually serves as the subject for Clause 2.

However, I have classified them as two different clauses since it helps me in isolating all the verbs and ensuring that I do not miss any for my analysis. 3 clauses mean at least 3 verbs. :)

I hope this clarifies your concern. Please let me know if it does not. I will try again.

Also, please feel free to point out such concerns or doubts. Constructive criticism is more than welcome :)

Regards,

rsadana1
