That is not a complete clause, yet you have written it as a sentence.


I'll get back to you. My brother was an English teacher for 30 years, so I've dumped it in his lap for his consideration. He knows everything from gerunds to participles to indirect objects and a whole lot of other terminology. :)

Smiley faces make anything a sentence....when you’re an ignorant twat

Says one of the most ungrammatical posters on the forum! :) :)
Hey, hands off my trophy!

I usually keep it locked up under glass because the competition is so intense. One day Dark beaver is going to realize it's missing from his book shelf and he may come looking for it.

Not really, basically pretty laid back! However that sentence? does have him thinking, but I think he's leaning toward it being a sentence. His first reaction was it lacks a noun but then came to the conclusion everything after the verb is the noun. I think he's still pondering. :)

"A verb is now a noun"

He should work for Trump as his new Press Secretary. Huckabilly Sanders has gone to ground and nobody remembers what happened to da Mooch.

Iowa's Longest-Serving Republican Switches to Democrats, Citing Trump's 'Erratic' Policies, 'Reckless Spending'

The longest-serving GOP member of the Iowa Legislature, Andy McKean, announced he's switching to the Democratic Party, citing President Donald Trump's "reckless spending" and his setting a "poor example for our nation and particularly for our children."
Representative McKean was first elected to the Legislature in 1978 and served 10 total terms in the House and Senate before successfully running again last November. On Tuesday, he announced to the Iowa House of Representatives his change in party registration. McKean wrote a letter blasting partisan politics in the state and the nation before making a direct rebuke of an "erratic" Trump and his supporters.
McKean criticized Trump for "unprecedented divisiveness" in American politics and said America will soon "pay a heavy price" for electing him.
"While my emphasis was on bipartisan undertakings, I was comfortable with my party's priorities and felt at home in the Republican caucus," McKean wrote in this party registration announcement, which detailed his decades in the Legislature. "Upon returning to Des Moines after a 15-year hiatus, I found a very different place."
The District 58 representative, who won the support of nearly 70 percent of voters in last November's election, continued: “I might have limped along attempting to work within my caucus for what I felt was best for the people I represent if it hadn’t been for another factor. I believe that is just a matter of time before our country pays a heavy price for President Trump’s reckless spending and short-sighted financial policies, his erratic, destabilizing foreign policy, and his disregard for environmental concerns."
