" In both these sentences you separate the subject from the complement with the comma. That is not correct. You could emphasize the current subject like this: One task in particular was one of the most difficult that Bill had ever attempted: preparing his report and submitting it to the committee for evaluation and possible publication.
- " In both these sentences you separate the subject from the complement with the comma.
- That is not correct.
- You could emphasize the current subject like this: One task in particular was one of the most difficult that Bill had ever attempted: preparing his report and submitting it to the committee for evaluation and possible publication.
- The comma after but is not correct either.
