| By voting, everone can have a say in the government of his country. This makes voting the best way to ensure that a government acts how the people want. |
Is the bold part correct grammatically?
I think that 'a government acts what the people want.' is right rather than the bold part.
1. If the bold part is correct, with what words or phrases can 'how' in it be replaced?
2. And also I'd like you to make examples using 'act how clause'
Thanks. |
