Hi, No this sentence doesn't make sense because there is no 'subject' in the sentence. e. John kicked the ball, in this sentence John is the subject, he is doing the verb.
- Hi, No this sentence doesn't make sense because there is no 'subject' in the sentence.
- e.
- John kicked the ball, in this sentence John is the subject, he is doing the verb.
- In your sentence the main verb is 'checking' but it doesn't say who is doing it.
- However the rest of the sentence makes perfect sense if we make a few small grammar changes for example The managers are checking the possible consequences of living in high-rise (correct use of word, not high rising) buildings on dwellers' well being'' it means they want if there is a health consequence to living in a high rise building

Thank you very much for the detailed explantion0
pmacmeHi, No this sentence doesn't make sense because there is no 'subject' in the sentence.But I sometimes see native English speakers do not use subject. Maybe when it's clear I don't know
For instant instead of 'I have been + verb+ ing' 'been + verb+ ing'...
Another example : see you later, nobody says I'll see you later or something

Hi Servat,
In spoken language and not just in English, we often don't use full sentences, saying hello and goodbye being one of the most obvious examples. The other might be if we are giving a response to somebodies question like 'what are you dong now? - 'oh, just looking at the computer'. While it may be true that there is no subject in this sentence it is also true that the subje
