Hi Teacher,

During my reading from a book I found the following sentence that I have never come across before.

"Diaphragmatic breathing is the most efficient breathing there is."

It would be greatly appreciated if you could explain to me whether it's correct/not and why. It seems to me that it's missing a word.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Teacher,

During my reading from a book I found the following sentence that I have never come across before.

"Diaphragmatic breathing is the most efficient breathing there is."

It would be greatly appreciated if you could explain to me whether it's correct/not and why. It's correct. "there is" means 'that exists'.

It seems to me that it's missing a word. It's not missing a word.

Thanks & Regards,
