It

Is this okay: I couldn’t get 10 people to go to tomorrow’s football game so canceling it.


By it I mean the event not the game. Does the sentence makes sense?

anon006 Does the sentence makes make sense? After auxiliary do ( do, does, did ) you must use the plain form of the verb. anon006 I couldn’t get 10 people to go to tomorrow’s football game , so [missing subject of clause] canceling it.
