In a statement on its official Facebook page, the Air Force said a F/A-18 D Hornet and a Sukhoi Su-30 MKM were deployed to escort the Boeing 737-82Z (BBJ2) which was carrying Sultan Ibrahim to be sworn in at Istana Negara on Wednesday (Jan 31).
1. Shouldn't it be "an F/A-18 D Hornet" instead?
2. Shouldn't there be a comma before "which"?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
1. Use "an" because the abbreviation
F/A-18 is
pronounced like a vowel sound.
2. You don't need a comma there because the sentence reads all right without a pause before
which – "the Boeing 737-82Z (BBJ2) which was carrying Sultan Ibrahim to be sworn in" is a compound subject.
Stumble It!
