English Isn't My First Language, Which One Is Correct?

robson9776 · 08-17-2009, 01:09 AM

Dear warriors,

I need your help to choose which sentence is the correct one, since English is not my first language. these are my sentences :

1. One-Stop Technical Solutions for Internet Marketers
2. One-Stop Technical Solutions for Internet Marketer
3. One-Stop Technical Solution for Internet Marketers
4. One-Stop Technical Solution for Internet Marketer

thanks!

This one is correct:

1. One-Stop Technical Solutions for Internet Marketers

If there is only one solution, then you can use 3. with the addition of *A*:

3. A One-Stop Technical Solution for Internet Marketers

Jeff Henshaw · 08-17-2009, 05:18 PM

Both 1 and 3 are ok, depending on whether you are offering MORE than one technical solution to MORE than one marketer (use number 1), or whether you are offering ONLY one technical solution to MORE than one marketer (use number 3).

The addition of the letter A at the beginning of number 3 is recommended, as already posted.

NOW!

If you have MORE than one solution and you want to aim at the "Internet Marketer" (singular not plural), then number 2 is ok, but add in the bold below:

One-Stop Technical Solutions for the Internet Marketer.

If you ONLY have one solution, and you want to aim at the "Internet Marketer" (singular not plural), then number 4 is ok, but add in the bold below:

A One-Stop Technical Solution for the Internet Marketer.

I hope that this helps, but if you are still unsure, please feel free to PM me.

Regards,

Jeff Henshaw.

Hi Robson,

#1 is the best if you have more than one solution. If not, choose #3.

The first one is correct and sounds the nicest..

1. One-Stop Technical Solutions for Internet Marketers

I find it intriguing that one can actually develop to learn English at the same time, Internet Marketing, once they're in this 'scene'.

I'll go for no. 1. Good luck to you.

Rudolph McDonald · 08-18-2009, 12:34 AM

No. 1 is correct. Just don't forget to add S for the Marketers, even if you use solution without S.

JohnHuizinga · 08-18-2009, 05:21 AM

Like Jeff said, 1 and 3 are correct as is. 2 and 4 can be made correct with the addition of the word "the" as in "the internet marketer".
And of course the other question to ask yourself is whether you have one solution or more than one to offer. This is what determines whether you use "solution" or "solutions".

silotiko · 08-18-2009, 06:25 AM

#1 reads the best and sounds smooth as well, I concur with the other Warriors also that if you did decide on #3 then it would require the word "A" at the beginning of the sentence.

Sandor Verebi · 08-18-2009, 11:21 AM

Hi Robson,

I'm not a professor but I feel that Jeff's explanation carry off the palm. Variations are depending on your aim.

It is praiseworthy that you show interest in the correct grammar. Keep it up!

Many successes,

Sandor

If it is a headline (or a tagline), you do NOT have to add the "A" at the beginning of #3. Headlines do not have to be grammatically correct sentences. Just look at any newspaper and you'll see that is true.
