Lacking a verb? Is this sentence correct?
I saw this on wikipedia
The primary function of the heart is to circulate the blood, and through the blood, oxygen and vital minerals to the tissues and organs that comprise the body.
And I think it lacks a verb
and through the blood, oxygen and vital minerals to the tissues and organs that comprise the body.
You're right. The verb's missing...
The primary function of the heart is to circulate the blood, and through the blood, oxygen and vital minerals are transferred to the tissues and organs that comprise the body.
use an appropriate verb...I think the appropriate verb would be " are transferred"
The primary function of the heart is to circulate the blood, and through the blood, oxygen and vital minerals to the tissues and organs that comprise the body.
I put the verb in red. But you are right! There is a mistake. This sentence is okay if someone just takes out some words that are accidentally included:
The primary function of the heart is to circulate the blood, oxygen and vital minerals to the tissues and organs that comprise the body.
It was an error made in typing, probably. I make that same kind of error all the time.
Just curious if this works?
The primary function of the heart is to circulate the blood. Through this function, oxygen and vital minerals can be transferred to the tissues and organs that comprise the body.
