T_H_Lawrence,
- Traditional decorations are composed of greenery.
- Traditional decorations composed of greenery.
Which sentence is correct?
According to me, in the case of an entity with constituent units, the phrase ‘composed of’ is used with a form of the ‘be’ verb only in the passive voice.
So, here, ‘Traditional decorations consist of greenery’ would be better.
The second sentence is not correct.
