Jumping the Moon Dairy - the next chapter

[Wehner Homestead]

I have to admit when stumped I change the wording to eliminate the issue.

Example: agreeable, favorable, desirable

Welcomed....but, there should be an "are" between the "and"....and "a".....and are a welcomed addition to the herd....

I caught it, I noticed.

I can now prove to mom I am learning even when it comes to homework I am a bit of a pain.

@Wehner Homestead I do that too, but it is usually if I am not entirely sure of the meaning of a word or how I am using it.

I am usually really really good with grammar, it is my pet peeve in some ways so this just stumped me. I took a grammar class in high school, one of the most useful classes I have ever taken.

So now that I have inserted the "are" it makes me question something else. Do I need to insert THAT?

The kids are hand raised so "that" they are easier to handle and are a welcomed addition to the herd.

I used to be awesome at grammar but my memory hasn’t been as good since the sleep deprivation secondary to my youngest monkey and all of her medical issues.

I *think* the sentence sounds better with “that.” I read and reread it both ways...

I’m interested to see what @CntryBoy777 says!

 

[CntryBoy777]

It really could read either way, but if ya remove the "that" then I would insert a comma between "raised" and "so"....there are 2 different actions being contained in the one sentence and a pause allows for a clearer separation and understanding of those 2 linked actions.....omg...I sound like a dang teacher....

@CntryBoy777 My sister is a retired teacher and when I read your post I thought it sounded just like her. But I do believe that you are correct. I put the "that" in the sentence.

Since the BYH community is my best critic and my best supporter I will show you the brochure I am working on. It is similar to the last one I did but this one is a tri-fold so I can put it in those brochure holders more readily. I have the back pages that are blank for now but I can fill them up later.

Off to do an inspection. Wish me luck

Regarding the "that"
I think it depends on what you are trying to convey.

• They are hand raised with the intention of making them easier to handle? Put in the "that".
• They are easier to handle because they were hand raised? No "that".

I think.
