Hi Nancy, One of the members also suggested a repair shop for trailer trucks would create more job opportunity. Another argued it would damage our roads. Yes, it's OK.

Hi,

the oberoi property in saudiarabia was taken over by sheraton group of hotels

You need to say the oberoi property in saudi arabia was taken over by the sheraton group of hotels

In addition, please note that, in English, capital letters and punctuation are considered very important.

Can you also put indefinite article "a" instead of the "the" if there are several oberoi properties and also are several sheraton groups of hotels in existence?

A oberoi property in saudi arabia was taken over by a sheraton group of hotels.

Would you say in this instance the use of the words "opportunities" are somewhat mandatory because of the existence of the word "more"? Putting the word "more" in front of an uncountable noun gives me uneasy feeling, but I also found this sentence.
