Adjective phrase #2 (permalink) Fri Oct 20, 2006 1:17 am   Adjective phrase		  
I think you mean adjective phrase but I am not sure what you want to do.
Do you want to make adjective phrases that will modify the nouns mahjong and unicorn, or do you want to make adjective phrases that contain those words within the adjective phrases?

Even though the word you used, with, suggests the second, I am not sure. What do you want to do?

HI canadian45,

I must write sentences with adjective clause (restrictive) and I must use these words mah-jongg in one sentence, unicorn in the other.For example, a fortune teller is a person who can see into the future.

Mah-jongg is a game which.................( I don't know this game,its features,how people play it)

I hope you will understand my explanation.

.
A fortune teller is a person who can see into the future.
Mah-jongg is a game that is very popular in Japan.
A unicorn is a mythical horse that has a single horn in the middle of its forehead.
A restrictive adjective clause is a dependent clause which modifies and identifies its noun referent.

Foretune teller #6 (permalink) Fri Oct 20, 2006 19:09 pm   Foretune teller		  
hi medeya2012

1...I am sorry I misunderstood your question. Even though you said ''clause'', something about the way I interpreted your question made me think phrase.

2...I have a better sentence about fortune tellers.
A fortune teller is a person who takes money from gullible people by claiming fortune tellers can see into the future. Wink

3...gullible also gullable, adj; easily duped or cheated

? a bad joke #8 (permalink) Sat Oct 21, 2006 5:34 am   ? a bad joke		  
medeya2012
Your sentence is grammatically correct; it's a good sentence. I just changed it because I wanted to criticize fortune tellers. I wasn't criticizing your English.
Sorry for the confusion.

Hi medeya2012

How about these sentences:

- You can always criticize me.
- You can criticize me anytime.

You may also use may. It just sounds a bit more formal than can. Wink

...exact found sentence... #13 (permalink) Sat Oct 21, 2006 20:23 pm   ...exact found sentence...		  
hi medeya2012

"Thanks for such an exact found sentence." is not a good sentence. Why did you use the word found ? What is found supposed to mean in that sentence?

"Thanks for such an exact sentence." is a much better sentence.
