What does There are situations that can present be dangerous. mean?
What does There are situations that can present be dangerous. mean?
I don’t understand the sentence structure shown in the example:
Modal verb+ infinitive verb followed by be + adjective.
Isn’t the sentence supposed to be (can present to be dangerous) instead of (can present be dangerous) ?
Modal verb+ infinitive verb followed by be + adjective.

That sentence isn't grammatically correct. I think it should be "There are situations that present dangers" and that just means "The situations might be dangerous".

The sentence is on my textbook so it might just be a misprint.
