Retailsales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations of personal spending in the July-September quarter that it more than doubled of the 1.4percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.
Ron: this sentence is actually ungrammatical.
you can't say "expectations of X(,) that it would do Y". that's wrong whether there's acomma or not.
if you're going to say "expectations of X", then that's the entiretyof the construction; X must be a noun (or a gerund), and that's it.
问题:
expectationof X,X就是expectation的宾语,所以X必须是个名词或者动名词。
上面的句子里personal spending是动名词,符合规则
为什么ungrammatical呢?
求解答,没有很懂Ron的意思
