Rest of the sentence is predicate. Sometimes predicate precedes the subject. Acquiring above facts we can evaluate that your sentence 7 is wrong, for, it is shepherd about whom we are concerning in the subject not barking sounds. Or you can say that it is shepherd who is performing the action of hearing sounds so is the subject. Same is the case with your sentence 11. |

Now here we go.... Though your 7th sentence is right now but 11th is again wrong, for, it is not use alone but use of adversity which is subject. Yes, use is subject word. Here writer wants to emphasise on "sweetness " so he precedes the predicate. 2- Your 2nd exercise was perfectly done so I didn't comment. |
