@tanguatlay,
"Something comprises of something else" - is Wrong. (probably)
"Something comprises something else" " Right. (probably)
Eg: India comprises 28 states. Fine.
"Something is comprised of Something" is accepted even by the native speakers of english language.
Which means "India is comprised of 28 states" is accepted by Grammarians.
Since it means Constituents How can we used comprised in the said sentence?
Shouldn't it be replaced by "composed of"?
Comprises means a large entity broken into smaller ones, not the union of smaller ones into a single large entity, right?
Can someone please help me with this doubt??
