Following the instructions, rewrite the sentences given below correctly. i) He is here,...............is fortunate. (Use pronoun.) ii) I played with the same bat...........you did. (Use pronoun.) iii) More than one player (be) playing outside at present. iv) He is one of the best leaders who (have) served the nation perfectly. v) They were petrified, so (speak), on hearing this news. vi) I had rather (take) this than that. vii) He asked why I came.

  1. He is here, which is fortunate. (A relative pronoun referring to the whole clause.)
  2. I played with the same bat that you did. ("same" is followed by "that"; "as" is also used.)
  3. More than one player is playing outside at present. ("More than one" takes a singular verb.)
  4. He is one of the best leaders who have served the nation perfectly. (The relative "who" refers to the plural "leaders".)
  5. They were petrified, so to speak, on hearing this news. ("So to speak" is a fixed infinitive phrase meaning "as it were"; "petrified" is used figuratively.)
  6. I had rather take this than that. ("had rather" is followed by the bare infinitive.)
  7. He asked the reason for my coming. (Simple sentence: the noun clause is turned into a phrase.)
  8. When Queen Victoria reigned, there were many wars. (The phrase becomes an adverbial clause of time.)
  9. She is working hard with a view to winning this competition. ("to" in "with a view to" is a preposition, so it takes the gerund.)
  10. This is the same woman that attended the party last week. ("same" takes "that".)
