Some herbs can cause serious side effects, including severe liver damage, if taken in the wrong combinations or in the wrong amounts.
In this sentence, why is including not includes, and why is taken not takes.
Thanks in advance for replys.
Neither would make any sense here. Those are both phrases and cannot take main verbs. You will also see a subject before main verbs, and here there are none.
[i]He shared a famous recipe that includes chicken and rice.
He shared a famous recipe including chicken and rice.
Some herbs can cause serious side effects, which include liver damage, if they are taken in the wrong combinations or in the wrong amounts. [/i]
Above is your sentence rewritten to include main verbs.
Hi Mordant,
You mean if subject doesn’t change, then it can be left out in the complements, clauses, and still has to keep the sequence of tenses(like present tense here).
Is it right?
By the way, sorry for the late reply, thank you.
