Hi Vireak! While grammatically correct, using heavy inversion like "Rarely do we see..." in spoken conversation can sound overly formal or dramatic. It is best reserved for speeches, formal emails, or written reports. For daily chat, just say "We rarely see..." 🗣️
I get confused with Participle Clauses. Can I just use "Because" instead?
You certainly can! Using "Because" is perfectly fine. However, at the C1 level, utilizing Participle Clauses shows a higher command of sentence variety and cohesion, especially when drafting professional proposals or articles. 📝
