I do I correct the prediaction sentences below?
Our resolutions should begin at midnight on January 1.
The reason for the cat’s illness is because she was allergic to the dog.
A book that has an exciting introduction and a surprising ending would be the best story for me to read.
The driving exam is when one is tested on the rules of the road.
Please explain what your text book means by "predication."
I'd correct two of the sentences, but the first and third are correct as written.
Predication in logic, the attributing of characteristics to a subject to produce a meaningful statement combining verbal and nominal elements.
Our resolutions should begin at midnight on January 1. Midnight when? When January 1 begins or ends?
The reason for the cat’s illness is because she was allergic to the dog.
