[Grammar] One verb in one sentence

[teamsar]

Hi all,
I'm a newbie in this forum and I really need your help about grammar. Some people think it's silly to be asked, but for me it's tremendously important.

I have a question about how to combine two verbs into one verb that cover up 2 meanings in one sentence. As we probably know, the form of a sentence should be "subject + verb + object", and I have a sentence that contains two verbs eg : "...meanwhile, shows a rise for women and men fluctuate."

As someone suggest, I have to use "clause" to concatenate it, but I still don't have any idea about that. Anyone have idea ? Thanks.:-(

Many sentences contain more than one verb. I really can't make a judgment on your sentence because it is only a fragment. Can you give us more?

Ok.. as you wish.. Here it is for full sentence : "Generally, both men and women experienced an increase in full-time education. Part-time education, meanwhile, shows a rise for women and men fluctuate."

Thanks. :up:

I would rephrase that.
Perhaps the tense should be consistent too.

Generally, both men and women experienced an increase in full-time education. Part-time education, meanwhile, showed a rise for women while it fluctuated for men.

I hope I've understood what you are trying to say.

PS. tedmc's point about numbers is a good one.

Generally, both men and women experienced an increase in full-time education.

I think you mean to say there was an increase in the number of men and women pursuing full-time education.


Part-time education, meanwhile,shows a rise for women and men fluctuate.

The numbers for part-time education however, show an increase for women and a fluctuating pattern for men.

@JMurray
I think it still contains two verbs.. but thanks for your input.

Wow.. I think this is the good one : "The numbers for part-time education however, show an increase for women and a fluctuating pattern for men."
Anyway, is that still correct if I make a sentence like I wrote above ("Generally, both men and women experienced an increase in full-time education. Part-time education, meanwhile, shows a rise for women and men fluctuate.") ?? Or is there any grammatical error that should have been fixed ?? Thanks all
