Finding the verb or the predicate
|
|
Good day fellow teachers,
This sentence about the weather forecast is taken from an ESL book. I think it is an incomplete sentence because I can�t find the verb. Could you please help me find out where the verb is, if there is any?
"Mostly dry with bright or sunny spells in central, south and south east England, the odd mild shower in the south and south-west."
Thanks in advance |

You are right that there is no verb. There isn�t really a subject, either. These are just some descriptive phrases, not a sentence. Bruce |

Thanks for your help, Bruce. I agree with you. There is no subject either.
This is the context of the the sentence:
Man: And here�s a summary of tomorrow�s-weather. A bright start all over the country with frost mostly in the west, but scattered clouds will blow in from the north-west before noon, and there will probably be patchy rain over much of Scotland and Cumbria Mostly dry with bright or sunny spells in central, south and south east England, the odd mild shower in the south and south-west Temperatures will range from 7 to 16 degrees Celsius, so it will feel less cold than of late, especially in the sunshine.
If it is meant to be a casual conversation, is it OK to capitalize its first letter? |

It�s actually a weather report on radio or television, and is the standard way of delivering that. Yes, even though it isn�t a sentence, we would start it with a capital letter, because it is just an abbreviated sentence. Bruce |

Hi here! As a student, we have to face a number of academic stress like homework writing, assignment making, exams, etc. I am a PHP student and it is a subject that I faced a little difficulties to understand. I was too worried about my homework but now I have a solution to that. One of my friend suggested me for online PHP homework help. I hired them for do my php homework so that I can be stress free. I must say they have handled all my work with utter professionalism. At first I was nervous that I will be scammed but they delivered my work on-time. I would really suggest to those who are stuck or unable to understand PHP can count on them.
