Hi
Please help me with this.
1.We state an issue and give an example. The sentence which precedes the example, can it be like this " Here is an example to this effect"?
2. The crime was committed by Two men posing as tourist guides/who posed as tourist guides.
I think the second is OK, but the first one sounds a little odd to me.
