Correct. 4.4 All representations and warranties in Clause 16 (Representations and Warranties) (except to any extent waived in accordance with Clause 28.2 (Amendments, Waivers and Consents)) have been complied with and would be correct (in all material respects in the cases of Advances the sole purpose of which is to repay an existing Advance) if repeated on the proposed date of that Advance by reference to the circumstances then existing.

Correct. The conference room was occupied by another group, but they wanted to start the meeting at 10 a.m.
Correct. The quality of XxxXxxxxx.xxx is outstanding. INCORRECT: XxxXxxxxx.xxx quality is outstanding.
Correct. The situation is not great, but if we are prepared to act quickly, there is still a chance to turn it around. Parenthetic Expressions Nonrestrictive clauses are parenthetic. A nonrestrictive clause does not identify or define the prior noun. Thus, nonrestrictive clauses should be set off by commas. Incorrect: The best way to see the campus unless you don’t have enough time is to walk the perimeter and then go to the student union. Correct: The best way to see the campus, unless you don’t have enough time, is to walk the perimeter and then go to the student union. Restrictive clauses are not parenthetic and are not set off by commas. Restrictive clauses function as an adjective and are essential to the intended meaning of the sentence. If removed, the meaning of the sentence would change. Incorrect: All students, who do their work, should pass easily. Correct: All students who do their work should pass easily. Compound Sentences A comma separates two or more independent clauses in a compound sentence separated by a conjunction. The comma goes after the first clause and before the coordinating conjunction separating the clauses. Incorrect: The campus visit went great and our hosts were very helpful. Correct: The campus visit went great, and our hosts were very helpful. Incorrect: The trip to our national headquarters was fascinating so we think we will return next year. Correct: The trip to our national headquarters was fascinating, so we think we will return next year. Comma Splice Comma splices occur when two sentences are joined with a comma instead of a period or semicolon. This often happens when using transitional words like however, therefore, moreover, nevertheless, or furthermore.
Correct. Xxx enjoyed the basket of muffins Xxx gave her for the morning meeting; however, she prefers bagels.
Correct. XxxXxxxxx.xxx service INCORRECT: XxxXxxxxx.xxx service
Correct. XxxXxxxxx.xxx services are excellent. INCORRECT: XxxXxxxxx.xxx is the ideal service for your needs. The above is the most important rule of trademark usage. The word "service", or similar generic language (i.e. financial information service), should immediately follow all XxxXxxxxx.xxx trademarks in each piece of advertising, promotion or other written material. On occasion, the generic term may be omitted where the immediate context makes it clear that a generic term is intended, such as in repetitive uses of the trademark within a single paragraph or section, but these exceptions should be used with care. The generic term should always be used at the beginning of a piece and at significant points subsequently. In addition, Intuit trademarks must not be used as possessives. (This follows from the principle that trademarks are adjectives, not nouns). For example:
Correct. Some of the students were exhausted after finals. (Some clearly means more than one student, so the plural verb is used.) Rule 9: Gerund subjects (-‐ing verb form without an auxiliary verb) take singular verbs. Examples CORRECT: Seeing is believing. CORRECT: Swimming helps build muscle tone. Question of the Day: Can you figure out the error in Xxxxxxxxx’s 2007 hit song, “The Way I are?” References: The following works were referred during the creation of this handout:
Correct. (Either) The kids or the dog was making a racket downstairs. [dog was...] INCORRECT: (Either) The dog or the kids was making a racket downstairs. INCORRECT: (Either) The kids or the dog were making a racket downstairs. CORRECT: (Neither) Xxx nor the kids want pizza. [kids want...] CORRECT: (Neither) The kids nor Xxx wants pizza. [Xxx wants...] INCORRECT: (Neither) Xxx nor the kids wants pizza. INCORRECT: (Neither) The kids nor Xxx want pizza. There are two exceptions to these rules. Exception 1. When the parts of a compound subject are joined by "and" but are generally thought to be a single unit, they take a singular verb, not a plural verb: CORRECT: Peanut butter and jelly is my favorite. INCORRECT: Peanut butter and jelly are my favorite. CORRECT: Two and two equals four. INCORRECT: Two and two equal four. Exception 2. When the parts of a compound subject are joined by "and" but the subject is modified by the words "each" or "every", the subject takes a singular verb, not a plural verb: CORRECT: Every boy and girl gets a merit certificate. [every boy gets...every girl gets] INCORRECT: Every boy and girl get a merit certificate. CORRECT: Each business and restaurant has to display a business license. [each business has to...each restaurant has to...] INCORRECT: Each business and restaurant have to display a business license. When it comes to subject-verb agreement in questions, you must answer the question first to see if the answer is the object of the question or the subject of the question. The answers to both of the questions Vam asks are subjects, so the verbs need to agree with the subjects. In the second question, "Xxxx and Xxxx" is a compound subject joined by "and," so it requires a plural verb: Who Xxxx and Xxxx? Xxxx and Xxxx are my neighbors. --> Who are Xxxx and Xxxx? The first question is trickier. In American English, "name and date of birth" are seen together so often that they are often considered to be a single unit. Since that is the case, it is more idiomatic to use the singular verb here, as is noted in Exception 1 above. The preferred construction, then, is "What is her name and date of birth?" If you are not sure whether to use a plural or singular verb, you can always split the compound subject and use two separate sentences with simple subjects instead: What is her name? What is her date of birth? In English, sentences have two basic parts: a subject and a verb. When these two items are linked together in a sentence, a clause is ...
