notes on Gil ju's post
Gil ju,
The first sentence is an elegant statement of the article's main idea. You wrote it as a question, and I think that's right. The writer of the article tells us about the research but doesn't tell us if it is correct or not. When we read, we ask the question.
I've written some comments on your summary below it.
Does love bug bite sting only last one year? Researchers at an italian university say they discovered the chemical that causes symptoms that people feel during romance only last one year. Fifty eight volunteers showed love like symptions of sweaty palms and butterfly in stomach. These signs go away when relationship last longer and is more secure.
"Love bite sting" needs an ARTICLE. Both INDEFINITE ARTICLE ("a") and DEFINITE ARTICLE ("the") would be correct.
The "i" in "Italian" needs to be capital, because it is a name of a place.
The grammar of the second sentence is completely correct.
"Love like" needs a HYPHEN ("-") because you connect the two words as an ADJECTIVE. The correct form, then, is "love-like symptoms" (there's a misspelling of "symptoms").
"Stomach" needs a DEFINITE ARTICLE ("the") or should be PLURAL ("stomachs"). The sentence is not about only one stomach. You can write about stomachs in general (all people's stomachs) with both "the stomach" or "stomachs."
For example, "The penguin is a large bird" or "Penguins are large birds." Both mean "all penguins."
"Relationship" needs an INDEFINITE ARTICLE ("a") or to be PLURAL (with no article).
"when a relationship..." (INDEFINITE ARTICLE "a", not DEFINITE ARTICLE ("the") because the meaning is "any relationship," not "one specific relationship."
If you use "the relationship," the verb "last" needs an "s" at the end, because the SUBJECT ("the relationship") is THIRD PERSON SINGULAR ("he," "she" or "it") and the sentence is PRESENT TENSE.
If you use the PLURAL ("relationships"), "last" is "correct" but of course "is" must change to "are."
