00I think I understand what you mean. 02br
00Basically, you are say that it is not that clear to say 'making the impossible possible' right ? Would it help if I add a comma between the words 'impossible' and 'possible' ? 02br

00It is much clearer now. So 01i00possible 02i00is the adjective in both sentences, 01i00the impossible 02i00is the object, 01i00making 02i00is the gerund, then where is the verb? 02br
