English term
Grammar double past participle.
Should I put an article between EXHIBITED and LINITED or how can I distinguish the predicate and the direct object. Or leave it as it is?
Sep 25, 2022 12:42: Rachel Fell changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"
Sep 25, 2022 12:47: writeaway changed "Field (write-in)" from "(none)" to "English grammar, parts of speech"
Non-PRO (3): Tom in London, Edith Kelly, Rachel Fell
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Responses
no, exhibited is a past simple verb
neither are past participles here
("shown" is a past participle)
they are fine as is so definitely NO articles

“Limited” is an adjective here, no article needed
However, there is a grammatical error prior to that. You need a conjunction (either “and” or “or”) before the word “magnesium-containing.” I would also recommend adding a hyphen after the words “nickel” and “copper.”
Thank you for the "separate problem", I have already corrected it: ...shown that nickel-, copper-, and magnesium-containing solid solutions exhibited limited thermal stability... |
Discussion
Previously, it was shown that solid solutions containing nickel, copper, or magnesium exhibited limited thermal stability up to 1080 ºC, while pyrochlores containing iron were stable up to 1140 ºC.
