Regarding adjective and preposition

Sentence: "Not sure though but it 'seems' that the Newspaper has taken off certain/some articles related to/with Madoff and Ponzi scheme from its website."

My question: Could the adjective 'certain' be used in the sentence above ? If yes, then what meaning would it make in that context ? Besides also tell (just a confirmation) is I'm right in using the preposition "to" before the word Madoff ?

Thanks

Yes, and yes. The preposition "to" is fine. (related to Ponzi schemes) "Certain articles" is fine.

  • Yes, and yes.
  • The preposition "to" is fine.
  • (related to Ponzi schemes) "Certain articles" is fine.
  • It's probably better than "some," because it implies that the "removed" articles were selected on some "certain," perhaps common basis.
