I hope you won’t get lost with my explanation. It is the first time that I tryto explain such a complicated thing such as passive sentences with shift of case.And it is possible the native speakers don’t agree with my view. And I might guessthat a lot of native speakers have lost the feeling for the fact that this passive containsa shift of case. In both situations, it is the lack of resources that causes people to die.

So it’s those resources that are causing deaths, and there aren’t enough of those resources, which is a good thing. The question at the end of that sentence sounds odd because you are mixing a plural noun (i.e., rooms) with a singular noun (factor) before the verb.

This alternative reading of the first sentence is sanctioned by the strangeness of its literal reading. This shift of case in passive sentences is a peculiarity of English, simply because dative (without “to”) and accusative have the same form.
Is “which may causes” the correct phrase?
I dont understand when to use the “cause” and the “causes”. I am writing this book review, and really need some help with this. The sentence im struggling with is “In both situations there is a lack of resources which CAUSE people to die…”.

- The difference is that in A1, the subject of the noun clause, she works, is the subject of the whole sentence in the passive construction P1 She is said to work, whereas in P2 the pronoun, it, is the subject of the passive phrase.
- Your sentence #1a is clearly incorrect.
- As for funding, the committee might have a meeting to address that.
- From that knowledge you can now yourself tell which sentences you have quoted in your question are right and which ones are wrong.
If you go thorough all that was written above I can expect you have a clear understanding of the meaning of that two phrase and of when to use the one over the other. From that knowledge you can now yourself tell which sentences you have quoted in your question are right and which ones are wrong. Strictly speaking, the above sentence means that there aren’t enough resources, and the resources, were they available, would cause people to die.
The idiomatic phrases “as for” and “as to” mean with respect to, concerning, about, etc. An explanation as for what happened 1b. As for funding, the committee might have a meeting to address that. As to funding, the committee might have a meeting to address that. You ask if there is anything else unnatural in the sentence.
That isn’t the sense of the passive sentence. This is in fact a difficult construction for learners because actually the construction is not grammatical. But it is complicated to show what has happened here. In light of the above, the sentence 1a isn’t correct, however the sentence 1b is correct. As for/to the sentences 2a and 2b, they are grammatically correct. Your sentence #1a is clearly incorrect.
And English does not care whether such a construction is a-grammatical or not. The difference what causes hangovers is that in A1, the subject of the noun clause, she works, is the subject of the whole sentence in the passive construction P1 She is said to work, whereas in P2 the pronoun, it, is the subject of the passive phrase. The preparatory “it” is used when the subject of a clause is itself another clause.
This is one of the most common errors made by learners. Presumably, it usually happens after learning auxiliary verbs (be, do, have) and the subject-verb-inversion in Yes/No questions. Some older uses of as to meaning ‘with respect to, with reference to’ (e.g. As to myself, I’m not satisfied – D. Hartley, 1748) have given way to as for (e.g. As for you, son, your mother will hear of this). The first sentence sounds more natural to me, but I cant explain why.
