"It" and new sentences. I also have other questions
Hi,
Can you use "it' in a new sentence to refer to something that was only specifically identified in a previous sentence?
For example, "My car is now running on a new engine. It gets much greater mileage than in the past."
Also, do you treat someone + someone as plural when deciding to use a word like "I" or "are"? For example, "My teammate and I are unstoppable", or "My teammate and I am unstoppable"
For my final question, is it okay to write a sentence like this next one, when you add clarification before the question mark?
"Is this new employee reliable as far as his health is concerned?"
I would think so, but to me that type of question seems awkward when written that way. Perhaps it's just an aesthetic thing.
Thanks!
