To get correction of these sentences

A decade preceding and a decade after the declaration of fatwa as illegal, violence instigated by the so-called religious decrees continue in our remotest villages, with brutal punishments handed down to the victims, while most of the perpetrators get away with impunity. (now my question is whether the verb "continue" will take "s" or not as, so far i understand, the subject of this sentence is violence). please someone help me.

A decade preceding and a decade after the declaration of fatwa as illegal, violence instigated by the so-called religious decrees continues in our remotest villages, with brutal punishments handed down to the victims, while most of the perpetrators get away with impunity.

You are right. The subject of the sentence is violence, and you can write: "Violence continues."

[Moved from]: "Please excuse my affinity of using such risque language towards you." Make Sense?

I was wondering if you can help me. I am trying to write an essay (but it's more of a story) and am having trouble with a sentence...does it make sense? If not, how else can I word this?

"Please excuse my affinity of using such risque language towards you."

PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! THANKS!!

Affinity usually refers to a kind of relationship. It means to like something, but it usually means to feel a kind of connection. I think it is not the best word to use here.

"Please excuse my tendency to use such risqué language. towards you ."

Is "towards you" really necessary?
Please excuse my tendency to use such risqué language when speaking with you.

I hope that helps!!

Academic Statement, one sentence correction

I had to write a short academic statement for the Dean of my Department to sign it.
Maybe you can proofread it and check the grammar etc.

Thank you!!

The student [...] is eligible for attending the Study Abroad Programme at Roehampton University, London. At this point in time a semester in England would fit in well with her education.

The student [....] is eligible to attend the Study Abroard Programme at the Roehampton Univeristy, London. A semester in this programme will be beneficial and fit in with her educational achievement.

I don't understand who "her" is in the sentence, but overall your sentence looks great.

...fit in well with her career intentions and academic plan.

I like the correction made by motonrayo, but I would offer this idea above.

'the speed and intensity...' sentence grammar correction

the speed and intensity of the sport has always enticed me

or

the speed and intensity of the sport have always enticed me

The speed and intensity of the sport have always enticed me. This is because there are 2 things, speed and intensity. If it were only one thing, it would be different; The intensity of the sport has always enticed me. I hope this makes sense!

:)

Thanks so much Susan
