Homework Help: English

Posted by Henry2 on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 7:04pm.

As to my previous post, I thought I could use the infinitive with to if the action was perceived from the beginning to the end (I was seen to steal the watch/ Active: He saw me steal the watch).
I'm finding it difficult to check these other sentences. Please, help me!
How can I rewrite sentence number 2?

1)Hamlet has lots of features of a revenge tragedy.
2) For example, lots of death during the play, lots of soliloquies and asides between the avenger and the audience, the appearance of a ghost, the violent crime committed against the hero family that can’t be punished, the hero that becomes more and more isolated during the play and that isolation can turn to madness.

1. OK

2. For example, in this play, there are many deaths; several soliloquies and asides between the avenger and the audience; the appearance of a ghost; the violent crime committed against the hero's family that can’t be punished; a hero who becomes more and more isolated during the play, isolation that may have become madness.

The second sentence is too long, no matter how it's rephrased.
#1 - the original is not a complete sentence
#2 - it's a long list or series
#3 - it would be better written as 3 or 4 separate sentences.
