Hi Expert,
I've a curiosity about the
red part. In the
red part, it has been written that ''Cherapunji receives more rainfalls than any other site of the world''. I can simply write the above part as below.
x receives more rainfalls than y.Is it:
--->(1) x receives more rainfalls than x receives y?
or, ---> (2) x receives more rainfalls than WHAT y receives?
Definitely the original sentence indicates the second one. right?
So, I think, there
must have a verb for
any other site of the world. The correct sentence must be like below.
''Cherapunji receives more rainfalls than
DOES any other site of the world''.
What's your opinion honorable expert?
Thank you...
"Cherapunji receives more rainfalls than (Cheranpunji receives) any other sites."... this sentence does not make sense. The only possible meaningful construction is:
"Cherapunji receives more rainfalls than any other sites (receive rainfalls)."
Hence omission is alright.
However in the following case omission would not be allowed:
I like chocolates more than Madhu.
Both the following constructions make sense:
I like chocolates more than (I like) Madhu.
I like chocolates more than Madhu (likes chocolates).
Hence in this case omission makes the sentence ambiguous.
HaHaHa. Brother, I mistakenly used the word DOES in the wrong place. The use of DOES should be fixed after the word 'world'.
Here is my example below about to fix the sentence.
.
The above sentence is wrong. This one can be fixed by 2 ways like below.
.
DOES.
This sentence doesn't make any sense to me.
So, this sentence must be fixed by the following 2 ways.
. ---->But, unfortunately this sentence doesn't make any sense according the original sentence!
