Which of these sentences is correct?
Both are correct and mean the same. Which is better? That depends on how the sentence 'flows'. Example: 1. Tears began falling again when she heard the sad story. 2. When she heard the sad story, the tears began falling again. 1. Her tears - 'Her' is redundant (not necessary) because 'she' is in the sentence later. 2. 'the' may be used here because attention is drawn to the fact that the story is 'sad'. Use 'the' especially if she has cried about the story before in your article, story, or book. However, both are correct, the choice is yours.
Which of these 2 sentences is correct?
The first one sounds a lot better. I would also delete the word "current" because you are already indicating that it is happening presently when you say "moving", which is an active verb. so something like this: We are concerned about the efficiency of the pace at which we're moving. or We are concerned about the efficiency of the pace at which we're currently moving.
Not so fast. The sentence can be understood in more than one way. It’s possible that No. 2 is also correct. In No. 1, you assume a compound subject, “restaurants” and “catering company,” which requires a plural verb. So far so good. Imagine, however, that there is just one company, one that owns/manages restaurants and offers catering services. “Company” becomes the subject and requires a singular verb: “Company keeps you busy.” “Restaurants and catering” modify “company.” As an editor, I would have to query the author to determine the meaning, if it wasn't already clear from the wider context. If No. 2 was tipped as being correct, I would order and/or beg the author to rephrase because, clearly, that formulation can be misunderstood. No. 3 is the same as No. 1 and can be corrected by changing “keeps” to “keep.” No. 4 is the same as No. 2 and can also be corrected by changing “keeps” to “keep.”
Which of these sentences is correct?
Basketball game. The basketball game. Play basketball Play golf. Golf game. The golf game. Which one do you need?
Both are grammatically correct. But there is difference in construction and message conveyed through them.Type I : She is retired.Note: It is in simple present tense.Word order: Subject +Helping verb + past participle used as an adjective ( V3).Some external force caused this action.Other similar example :He is dead.Note: Use of an adjective in any sentence makes it more effective , vibrant or powerful than the one without an adjective.Type II : She has retired.Note: It is in Passive Voice.Word order: Subject +Helping verb + past participle ( V3)Other similar example :He has died.Note: Sentence without any adjective is rather less effective . On reaching her age of superannuation or voluntary retirement , she is no more in service and as such , she has retired.
How about you coming over?How about you come over?In both sentences a Finite verb is missing. Hence both the sentences are not grammatically correct."How about" is used informally and ungrammatically when making a suggestion or an alternative.How about going to movie on Sunday? ( suggestion )Mr. X is enquiring A and B to give company. ( seeking an alternative )How about Mr B , would you like to give me company ? ( means whether Mr B is able to give Company out of A and B )
The second one is correct, but it has one small error. The correct form is: "You have to consider the lengths he went to to help you."The expression underlying the sentence is: "to go to great lengths to do something" (see Cambridge Dictionaries Online: go to great lengths to do something). So, in your example, the speaker (or writer) is saying:
Both are correct, but they mean slightly different things. Both expressions involve a noun phrase that is the object of the preposition "in." In "in his going" "going" is the object of the preposition, so the sentence is talking about the point in going to college, in this particular case, his. In "in him going," "him" is the object of the preposition, so the sentence is asking about whether there's a point in him, modified to mean under what condition he may have no point, in this case, if he were to go to college. It's kind of a mean way to say it, but it's not ungrammatical. "His going to college" is preferable as it's closer to the intended meaning.

Both are correct.Near (along with close and far) is a rather unusual word because it is both an adjective and a preposition.It is clearly an adjective in phrases like “a near miss”. It also inflects for grade (nearer, nearest), which is usually confined to adjectives and a few adverbs.But it is clearly a preposition in phrases like “it is near my house”. You can form fronted constructions like “the house near which we were standing”, which you can’t do with adjectives. And it can be modified by right, which is also a test for prepositions.In the case of the near to example, it just has a prepositional phrase [to my house] as complement instead of the noun phrase [my house]. This happens with other prepositions too, e.g. outside the house / outside of the house.
