- Hi Sasha As other people have said you need to use the plural with 'plethora', but another reason it sounds a bit strange in that sentence is because we normally use 'plethora' to mean lots of different kinds of something - e.g. I read a plethora of books this summer - but when you talk about your CV, although you might adjust it slightly for different jobs, you really will be sending out the same document lots of times to different companies. So, it's more likely that a company would say 'we received a plethora of applications for the Secretary role we advertised' - they received lots of CVs from different applicants. So, similar to the other comments, I would suggest saying 'After sending out so many copies of my CV, I finally got an interview for the role of Secretary'. Best wishes, Ellie.0 votedAugust 12, 20210
- Hello Niwantha To answer your questions 1) You use 'which' when you want to give extra information about an object/place. This is also the same for 'whom', which you use when you talk about a person. You only need to add a preposition if you would need a preposition if you wrote the extra information sentence on its own. e.g. In your example sentence, we could split it into two sentences, not joined by 'which': She acted as a nun IN a movie. The movie has been nominated for an Oscar. The verb we are using in the first sentence is 'to act in...' something; therefore when you join the two sentences with 'which' you need to write 'in which'. Other examples: I am sitting ON the sofa. The sofa is blue. -----> The sofa ON which I am sitting is blue. I live IN an old house. -------> The house IN which I live is old. I am playing tennis WITH my friend. My friend is called Susan. -----> The friend WITH whom I am playing tennis is called Susan. 2) Due to the rule I have explained above, your second sentence is in correct, because we have to say someone 'acted IN a movie', it is not possible to say someone 'acted a movie'. Hope that helps, Ellie.0 votedMarch 11, 20191
