Deterrent against that person "repeating" the crime, why " repeat" gets "ing" Hello everyone, I've got doubts whether "against " would be the reason which makes the verb "repeating ",since it doesn't come immediately after that.

The whole sentence is that: It also must have helped strengthen group identity, making each family or group stronger and more cohesive. Advantages such as this suggest that...

'of' preposition immediately after 'be' Hello everyone, Today I came across with some sentences that they look odd and complex in using preposition 'of' after 'be' form of verb. I am not actually sure what they mean here. The reason might be that we get used to see 'of' in possessives, or 'the sheer size of the ship' in which the preposition just connected the two nouns with each other. This aspect of using preposition for connecting a kind of verb to a noun is not straightforward. would you please make it clear?! 1.
