Hi,
Is the following sentence grammatically correct?
I strongly recommend watching the khan academy videos if the sight of coin & dice questions makes you quiver, like it did for me.
Should it be "make" or "makes" - and I'm also struggling with the last part "like it did for me".
Btw, if you're wondering what the context of this statement is, the thought came to mind when I was posting a response in the quan forum (58357).
Thanks!

Hi
I think its ok, but again I'm really not great with SC
for makes : the noun in front of the verb is Questions => Plural => makes is correct
Like it did for me => IDK just feels weird
Sentence could be
If the sight of coin & dice questions makes you quiver, like they did for me, watch khan academy videos ( maybe better)
I hope it helps

"makes" is correct because it refers to the "SIGHT of coin and dice questions". The "like it did for me" seems awkward. "like it did me" sounds better I think..
"like it did for me" implies that the sight of coin and dice based questions made you quiver FOR you, which changes the intended meaning I think. The sight of the questions wasn't making you quiver for your sake, now was it??
