"With the global distribution of the product, emerges a new medium for delivery to the home." Is this sentence correct? Should I delete the comma? Pls help. Thanks.
Either delete the comma or keept it. If you keep it, move the subject, like this,
With the global distribution of the product, a new medium emerges for delivery to the home.
Note, "With", in that context, is short for Along with,
[Along] with the global distribution of the product. . . .
Is that the meaning you want to express?
Yeah, sounds good. Someone here suggested: "With the global distribution of the product, there emerge a new medium for delivery to the home." Is she right?
In a way, yes. The main verb "emerge" should be plural: its subject is 'a new medium':
"With the global distribution of the product, there emerges a new medium for delivery to the home."
The underlined portion is called an expletive there structure. With that kind of construct, the true subject comes after the verb:
There (expletive) emerges (verb) a new medium (subject)
A new medium (subject) emerges (verb)
