Hi people!

Help me decide which of the below sentences is correct in structure and better to read;

This collection consists of Prints, due to their versatility, complemented with a color palette ranging from neutrals to bright colors.

Or

This collection consists of Prints due to their versatility, complemented with a color palette ranging from neutrals to bright colors.

Or

This collection consists of Prints due to their versatility complemented with a color palette ranging from neutrals to bright colors.

Its always very hard to come out of Coma :konfused:

Re: Use of Comma

I found first one most appropriate. Also, don't you think it should be 'this collection' rather than 'this collections'?

Re: Use of Comma

This collection consists of prints due to their versatility, complemented with a color palette ranging from neutrals to bright colors.

^This is probably as close to correct as it gets. you had capitalized P from prints and collection already refers to multiple things so there was no need for "s" after.

I do believe however, @Southie is who you want to refer to in regards to grammar.

Re: Use of Comma

Re: Use of Comma

Re: Use of Comma

this don't make sense to me 'due to their versatility'

Re: Use of Comma

Trying to imply that prints/florals/etc have been incoprotaed due to their versatility. What is hard to understand in this?

10

Re: Use of Comma

Maybe it should be "its" ?!

11

Re: Use of Comma

@Guppshupper is right..I get what you are trying to say, but it's not making sense. This would be better:

"This collection of versatile prints compliment each other with a broad color pallette, ranging from neutrals to brights."

Re: Use of Comma

Like Guppshupper I was struggling with all three versions. The good lady above has nailed it.

13

Re: Use of Comma

Ok lets say i do not have the option to make any change except go with the top 3 versions.

Which wud be the best version to go with?

14

Re: Use of Comma

Zareen, the 3 options you posted are not grammatically correct. "Due to the versatility" implies a direct action is about to follow, "complimented with..." is a fragment that does not lend any clarification to what precedes the comma.

Comma placement is irrelevant when the whole sentence structure is incorrect to begin with. Your predicate has no clause.

Re: Use of Comma

:-(

Ok i pmed u let me know when u read it! Its a bit weird its nt showing in my sent msgs!

16

Re: Use of Comma

Would this make any sense?

This range predominately consists of Florals due to their versatility and is complemented with a color palette ranging from neutrals to bright colors.

@htmwrites - it is clear who the grammar pundit is in these the forums, and who the typo correcting wannabe is.
