"living on the margins of livable horse habitat"[edit]
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
For me it was difficult to understand that "The ancestors of most modern ponies developed small stature due to living on the margins of livable horse habitat." means that (I had to read a Russian language version to understand this) these animals lived in an environment where there was too little food, hence being small helped them to survive.
Is there a certain term, idiom or grammar construct which I should know, which would make it easier to parse that sentence?

- I have changed "due to living" into "because they lived" for a little more clarity. I'm not really an expert on English grammar, but I'd think this was a gerund. Huon (talk) 14:41, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
