usage of "qualify" #1 (permalink) Thu Jun 05, 2008 8:27 am   usage of "qualify"		  
Hi,

Can I say this sentence:
Quote:
In view of its arduous nature, this task is teeming with difficulties and qualifies for a voluminous change, and not just some minor change


(I want to say that the task is teeming with difficulties and is therefore a big change)

Thank you in advance

I suggest:

In view of its arduous nature, this task is teeming with difficulties and qualifies for being labeled/being deemed a voluminous change, and not just some minor change

Hi Alex

It seems to me that you could simply replace the word 'for' with the word 'as':

In view of its arduous nature, this task is teeming with difficulties and qualifies as a voluminous change, and not just (as) some minor change.
