OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

thank you sooo much :)

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

can you tell me what is wrong about it?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

@Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

Is this a stand-alone grammar question OR is it a question based on a given essay?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

stand-alone grammar

Directrix (directrix):

I am reading about gerunds. Points to remember: 1.A gerund is a verbal ending in -ing that is used as a noun. 2.A gerund phrase consists of a gerund plus modifier(s), object(s), and/or complement(s). 3.Gerunds and gerund phrases virtually never require punctuation.

Directrix (directrix):

Finding a needle in a haystack would be easier than what we're trying to do.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

idk I thought it was the third option because of a missing coma but as you are aware my english grammar is not excellent.

Directrix (directrix):

There is only one comma in that sentence. Where should the second one be?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

after household?

Directrix (directrix):

Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

so I was wrong...

Directrix (directrix):

Spinning wool , which was once common in almost every rural household , is becoming popular again as a way to reconnect with the past.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh so the comma IS supposed to be there :)

Directrix (directrix):

What you marked as the error is what I think is the error provided you think there should be a comma between the "household" and "is."

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ok so you agree with me then and it is the third option

Directrix (directrix):

I'm thinking that this --> which was once common in almost every rural household could be thought of as an essential phrase which should not be set off in commas. That would give "Spinning wool," as the error because there should be no comma after "wool." But, what a bulky sentence that would be.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ohh ok and yes I know I didn't get it either and I'm not an expert at grammar rules since I came to the US after they were taught so I just started with essays.

Directrix (directrix):

I am going with this as the answer: What you marked as the error is what I think is the error provided you think there should be a comma between the "household" and "is." Option D --> I am not 100% certain.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

alright thank you very much for explaining :)

Directrix (directrix):

If it were my homework, I'd go with that.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol alright, then I trust that answer

Directrix (directrix):

I await the correct answer with bated breath.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol alright it will be in a bit since I couldn't continue the assignment without doing that question
