Hi, Gleb Hlebov!
I read your message from 01.07.2024 04:56
AK>>>> The comma before "and" is just an unnecessary thing that
AK>>>> provides anything to make the understanding more clear.
AH>>> It`s a matter of style, not an absolute requirement, and some
AH>>> people recommend using it only when it`s needed to avoid
AH>>> confusion: Through the window I saw John, a basketball player and
AH>>> a friend of mine.
AK>> Are there three of them? ;-)
GH> Now that I`m reading it I indeed see 3 different persons.
;-)
AK>> If we have a good list (of names, for instance) we would have:
AK>> Through the window I saw John, Peter and Paul, who staggered out
AK>> from the pub.
GH> Does "who" indicate all of them, or just Paul?
As the person who had seen it through the window ;) I can say
that they were drunk all. And indeed, just think, If two of them were
sober why on earth they had went to the pub? ;-)
Bye, Gleb!
