Paragraph: John mentioned that to me last week that the new batch of files... #1 (permalink) Sun Apr 19, 2009 16:40 pm   Paragraph: John mentioned that to me last week that the new batch of files...
 

Can you help me check if this paragraph i made is fine?

"John mentioned that to me last week that the new batch of files will not have any error indicator and that when we review each we will have to start from the very beginning to end. In this batch, we are sure that the daily screened files will decrease a bit but what is important is that the acceptance rate will increase. We will just see the actual files when we start working with them, it will reflect in the report how it is going.

I appreciate any of your comments to the above.

THank you.

That's how I would do it. :) :)

Hi Kitsodad,
I think we don't need to use a comma after "important".
"What is important" is a noun clause which was used as the subject of the verb "is".
EX:What you did is wrong.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Morteza

Good morning Morteza, I am not a teacher. I placed a comma where I would pause for emphasis should I to be making this presentation.

Perhaps it would be better if I were to use, " I am not a teacher " at the beginning of every post.

Your comments are always welcome.

Kitosdad.

Hi there,
Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.Because by learning we will teach and by teaching we will understand.
As well,what the teacher is is more important than what he teaches.

" What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches."

I'm pleased that you said that. I thought I was in for another rollicking. :D :D
