I try to form a sentence. Would you help me?
"By voting, astronomers have strip Pluto of its status as a planet. Thus one of the most important events of the history of astronomy has happened."
Is this sentence correct or make sense? If so, is it natural?
Thank you.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
Is a "comma" required between "planet" and "causing" ?
Thank you.
No, but the full sentence is ellipsed. ems said she would start the sentence that way. You have to add the rest.
Yes, it requires a comma before 'causing'.
I would write 'is it?' instead of 'isn't it?'.
When I see 'People voted to do something', I would think 'to do something' is the result.
I am not a teacher.
Yes it is, if you finish the sentence as I suggested was necessary and expected because of the ellipsis. The sentence goes on: ", causing one of the most important events ofin the history of astronomy."
Firstly, "they voted to do something" doesn't just mean that they had a vote. It means that the motion was carried. They voted yes.
Secondly, if they had voted no, then that would not have caused "one of the most important events in the history of astronomy."
