Help please!

Hello.

How would we say a sentence which contains simultaneously auxiliaries like "to be" and "to have/do" ? For example:

"It's very sensational and (what to use there?) has a lot of facts about its stock"

Thanks.

Dear Zhfan I don't think there is an extra word you need; and it works with "and" and "but" in either order.. ] It does not run the two mile course well but has promise for a shorter distance All of these are correct Regards, Dave

[Reading a shop catalogue..]

[About a house..]

[About a person..]

He is rude but does a lot of work for charity

Don't use any word there!

It's very sensational and has a lot of facts ....

means

It's very sensational

and

it has a lot of facts ....

You don't have to repeat it.

I agree with the others. There's no need to add anything.
