I have a grammar question: As I was reading a text on the University of Northern Colorado website, I reach to this sentence: "Teachers play different roles in a classroom, but one of the most important is that of classroom manager. " I wonder if this correct grammatically. I guess it should be "one of the most important ONES". Please let me know if I miss something here.

Can we start a sentence with who or whom? As far as I know, who and whom as relative pronouns, refer to the noun which comes exactly before them. I wonder if we can begin a sentence with them: Such a thing: "Who stole the money remains unknown. " Thank you

Inversion with Neither ... nor ... In the below sentence, which is extracted from a book, the author uses "do" before subject: Neither do small back yards nor ornamental grass plots meet the needs of any but the very small children. However, I think when neither ... nor ... come between two nouns (subjects), there is no need to invert the sentence. For instance, Neither Mary nor her brothers are going out for dinner. (CORRECT) Neither is Mary nor her brothers are going out for dinner. (WRONG) I think the original sentence should change to Neither small back yards nor ornamental grass plots meet the needs of any but the very small children. Am I right?

It is a question from old TOEFL test. I wonder why there is an inversion after "than". I think it should be revised as: Hot objects emit more infrared rays than cold objects do. or Hot objects emit more infrared rays than cold objects emit.This is the source: http://chinaenglish.com.cn/html/c107/2012-11/48995.html

workshop participant or workshop's participant? !!NOT ANSWERED Why should we say "workshop participant" and when do we use " 's" to connect two words? I think here it is logical to say "workshop's participant" or "participant of the workshop", although in Oxford Dictionary "workshop participant" is written.
