After I read all the sentence in the idioms part in the SC guide, I have some questions.
First, a right sentence: the idea developed into a project.
However, in my opinion this sentence should be: the idea is developed into a project.
Second, another right sentence: I lose my books whenever I LAY them down. (present tense of different verb)
I cannot understand the "(present tense of different verb)" part.
In my views, we should use "lie", because it is present tense.
Third, the last right sentence: she REQUIRES OF her friend THAT work BE done. (subjunctive)
I am confused about the usage of "of" here.
Is the meaning of this sentece differ from another sentence—she requires that her friend do work?
Thanks in advance.
I know I ask some stupid questions.
