Hi,

'We hope that is reaches him in due time.'

What grammar category is this?

Thanks,
Joe

The "typographical error."

It should be "it reaches."

I was almost sure it's a typing error, but wanted to ask teachers.

Thanks

... Or, with my most whimsical hat on, perhaps it's mis-punctuated, and a a sign-writer had got a job wrong... Nah.

PS Try the search "due [n*]" in BNC. 'Due time' is by no means unheard of, but it's not the strongest of collocations
