....REPLACE CAPS
RECEIVES FROM THE CROWDS WICH CHEER HIS HISTORIC FLIGHT
OR
RECEIVED FROM THE CHEERING CROWDS ABOUT HIS HISTORIC FLIGHT?
i don't know which one is right, and why please help!
Wow -- your spelling needs some work, too!
The second one is incorrect because it's confusing to read "cheering crowds about his historic flight."
The first one is a bit strange in the sequence of verb tenses -- main verb is in the past, so the others should be, too. Shouldn't it be this?
Standoffish and reserved, Charles was uncomfortable with the applause he received from the crowds which cheered his historic flight.
what did i spell wrong?
grammar
Charles
received
receives
To determine which sentence is correct, let's break down the original sentence and analyze the verb tense and subject agreement:
Original sentence: Standoffish and reserved, Charles was uncomfortable with the applause HE RECEIVED FROM THE CROWDS WHICH HAVE CHEERED HIS HISTORIC FLIGHT.
The subject of the sentence is "Charles," and the verb is "was uncomfortable." The word "received" is the past tense form of the verb "receive" and agrees with the subject "Charles" in the past tense. However, the relative pronoun "which" is followed by the present tense verb "have cheered," which does not agree in tense with the rest of the sentence.
Now let's look at the suggestions you provided:
1. RECEIVES FROM THE CROWDS WICH CHEER HIS HISTORIC FLIGHT
2. RECEIVED FROM THE CHEERING CROWDS ABOUT HIS HISTORIC FLIGHT?
Sentence 1: "RECEIVES FROM THE CROWDS WICH CHEER HIS HISTORIC FLIGHT"
This sentence uses the present tense verb "receives" which does not match the past tense verb "was uncomfortable." Therefore, this version does not maintain tense consistency and is not correct.
Sentence 2: "RECEIVED FROM THE CHEERING CROWDS ABOUT HIS HISTORIC FLIGHT?"
This sentence uses the past tense verb "received" which agrees with the past tense verb "was uncomfortable." Additionally, it uses the correct form of the pronoun "cheering" to modify the crowds. Therefore, this version maintains tense consistency and is correct.
Based on the analysis, the correct sentence is: "Charles was uncomfortable with the applause HE RECEIVED FROM THE CHEERING CROWDS ABOUT HIS HISTORIC FLIGHT."
