[Grammar] of/on/about/concerning/regarding or all?

[UM Chakma]

Hi!

Many important people will attend that high-level meeting which/that will be held in the next month. ( I know it is possible to remove "which/that" and write "will be held". But could I remove "will be held" and put "be held" to shorten a bit more grammatically?)

Students who attend Model United Nations conferences will have a high-level discussion of/on/about/concerning/regarding current global issues. (which one is more suitable to use correctly? of/on/about/concerning/regarding or all? Also please let me know if the context is okay, because it is self-made)

WELCOME TO THE FORUM, Chakma. :hi:

You are mistaken. You cannot write just "... that high-level meeting will be held in the next month". You could, however, write "... that high-level meeting to be held in the next month"

Then is it grammatically wrong or according to the context? I hope more response. I still didn't get my answer. I am waiting with a great patience.

"Many important people will attend that high-level meeting will be held in the next month" is grammatically wrong.

As for the preposition, 'on' is the one I'd use, though 'about' and 'of' are acceptable, in my opinion.

I wonder-how can it be grammatically wrong? There is subject+verb+prepositional phrase.:shock:

There is no subject for 'will be held'.

"Many important people will attend that high-level meeting will be held in the next month."
You've used two verbs([will attend] and [will be held]) in one sentence without an clause. So it's grammatically wrong.

Here is a grammatically correct version:
Many important people will attend that high-level meeting which will be held in the next month.

Yet I would think using "to be held" is more natural.

FYI

Grammatically it's impossible to remove "that/which", for the "that/which" here replaces the subject of the sentence "that high-level meeting will be held". You may remove them when they replace the object of a sentence.

Mensu, the underlined part of your own post is ungrammatical.

I just removed "which/that" as it is grammatically possible.

How about the following sentences?

Many important people will attend MUN(model united nations) conference which/that will be held in the next month.
Many important people will attend MUN(model united nations) conference which/that to be held in the next month. (This may be natural and most acceptable)

Can't I remove "which/that"?

 

[5jj]

I just removed "which/that" as it is grammatically possible.

It isn't possible in the original sentence.

Many important people will attend the MUN([STRIKE]m[/STRIKE]Model [STRIKE]u[/STRIKE]United [STRIKE]n[/STRIKE]Uations) conference which/that will be held in the next month.
Many important people will attend the MUN([STRIKE]m[/STRIKE]Uodel [STRIKE]u[/STRIKE]United [STRIKE]n[/STRIKE]Nations) conference [STRIKE]which/that[/STRIKE] to be held in the next month. (This may be natural and most acceptable)

Can't I remove "which/that"?

Not in the first. You must remove it in the second.

I am sorry I didn't follow that Thank you so much for reminding me about that!

You can say:

... the meeting that will be held.
... the meeting to be held.

You cannot say:
... the meeting will be held (in your original sentence)
... the meeting that to be held.
