Thank you, I will pay attention to essay structure.

Quote:
These are many less interesting events that associate with a great events
It's my typing error. It should be "There are ... "
You changed to ".. that we associate with ... "
Quote:
These are many less interesting events that INSERT 'WE' associate with a great events.
I don't think it's suitable because inserting "we" changes the meaning of original sentence. A big event involves a lot of less interesting events, but many aren't aware of them. Inserting "we" means that people are all aware of them.

I looked up in dictionary:
Quote:
associate sb/sth (with sb/sth) to make a connection between people or things in your mind
My correction: "There are many less interesting events that are associated [ by the people ] with a great events."

But I'm wondering if it's right. "Associate" means make that connection IN YOUR MIND. Hence using " ... that are associated with ..." will mean that "those less interesting events are involved, and ALL people are aware of them". Is that true ?

What is the best correction ?
