If I understand correctly, you were using "predominate" as an adjective to describe (or modify) the word "It" -- and the correct adjective form is "predominant".
The word "predominate" is not an adjective; it is a verb (an action word), as in, "Blacks predominate in American professional sports teams." In that sentence, "professional" and "sports" are adjectives. In the sentence "He sports a new ball cap every year," "sports" is a verb.
Gotcha....thanks.....
I did ‘question’ it etc but it appeared to ‘fit’ in regards to ‘larger amount’ so I went with it...It was my first choice but it didn’t ‘look right’ but went with the ‘larger amount’ after checking it....
Thanks again....
