I struggled to work out whether that clause was dependent or not!KHING1209159 wrote:A comma may help seperating an dependent clause from the interogative group of word which gives the main idea.

Or maybe a dash?ReyvrexQuestor Reyes wrote: OR maybe, the comma could be replaced by a colon.

I would go by the second option.ButterscotchCherrie wrote: ↑02 Nov 2017, 04:07 This is a meeting agenda item. Which is correct, and why?
(a) Training course on life-saving techniques to be conducted with the support of the Baywatch Fund
OR
(b) Training course on life-saving techniques, to be conducted with the support of the Baywatch Fund
If there would be an option to rewrite,then I would say the following:
"The training course on life-saving techniques, will be conducted with the support of the Baywatch Fund".
