Two adjective and one preposition questions
Hi,
1.with what does the article go? The word 'staggering' or some other one? Is this similar to 'an extra ten dollars/ten percent' in phrasal pattern?
A staggering fifty-two dollar bills were contaminated ...
2.Why is there no hyphen after 'bug' to make the whole adjective in a pattern of a suspended hyphen use?
All the above currency, whethe bug (why not -- 'bug -'??) or dirt-ridden, still finds its way into the pockets of people ..
3. Don't we need the preposition 'to' after the word leading? I know we don't need 'to' for this though: I don't know where he is going.
I don''t know where it is leading (to??) .
