revise:
The 'if' clause does not have to appear first in the sentence. Here are the five common patterns of 'if... then' sentences. (source: MHR)
(1) General Rule with no uncertainty
IF Sophie EATSpizza, THEN she BECOMES ill.
IF Present, THEN Present.
This pattern is equivalent to whenever: WHENEVER Sophie EATS pizza, she BECOMES ill.
(2) General Rule with some uncertainty
IF Sophie EATS pizza, THEN she MAY BECOME ill.
IF Present, THEN Can or May.
Here, the helping verbs can or may can be used to allow for a somewhat uncertain outcome.
(3) Particular Case (in the future) with no uncertainty
IF Sophie EATS pizza tomorrow, THEN she WILL BECOME ill.
IF Present, THEN Future.
Another possibility for the Particular Case (in the present) is Present Perfect: IfSophie HAS EATEN pizza, then she WILL BECOME ill.
(4) Unlikely Case (in the future)
IF Sophie ATE pizza tomorrow, THEN she WOULD BECOME ill.
IF Hypothetical Subjunctive, THEN Conditional ('would').
Here, the writer thinks that Sophie is unlikely to eat pizza tomorrow. The Conditional
Tense (would) shows the hypothetical result of an unlikely or untrue condition. In place of would, the form could can be used to indicate improbability as well.
(5) Case that Never Happened (in the past)
IF Sophie HAD EATEN pizza yesterday, THEN she WOULD HAVE BECOME ill.
IF Past Perfect, THEN Conditional Perfect ('would have').
@[407314:prats92] sentence b is wrong. it should be " is testimony to the power of culture".
Many other words and phrases besides 'and' can add to a subject. These words and phrases are called 'Additive Phrases'. Examples include the following:
along with Polly ; in addition to surgery; accompanied by me; together with a tie;
as well as the mayor; includIng salt .and pepper
Unlike 'and', additive phrases do not form compound subjects. Rather, additive phrases function as modifiers and therefore cannot change the number of the subject.
Joe. as well as his friends, IS going to the beach.
Mathematjcs in addition to history and science, IS a required subject.
