Sorry, but i didn't understand something more. How can i connect their meanings in the following sentence; First and second part.


"Does anyone know who's causing Bouchard all this grief? "

First -------
Second --------


I'm only wondering the elements of clause...

[Casiopea]

1st: Do you know
2nd: who is causing Bouchard all this grief

cause (verb), make someone do or feel something
to cause someone to do or to feel something

EX: Someone is causing Bouchard to feel a lot of grief.

someone: subject
is causing: present continuous verb
Bouchard: object of the verb
to feel a lot of grief: object complement; e.g., Bouchard is feeling a lot of grief.

Causative verb: Someone is making/causing Bouchard to feel something he doesn't want to feel.

You're welcome, Kerim.

I'll ask something more... I was looking for dictionary. And I've noticed something.

"All that" means that "such". So meaning of "all this" can be the same with that???

[Kerim]

Casiopea, help!

[Casiopea]

It works for the sentence you're asking about.

... all this grief
... such grief
