Yes, it is grammatically correct. "Part and parcel" is a phrase that originated as a legal term in the fifteenth century. It means an essential or integral part.

Which is grammatically correct - 'become part of the team' or 'become a part of the team'?

I prefer "be part of the team", although they may be about the same. The reason for my preference is that the little word "a" is one of the "indefinite articles". Also, "become" is future; "be" is present. They are very small points, but to my ear "I want to be part of the team" sounds more settled and focused than "I want to become a part of the team".

'Since the last ten years...' is correct, but is only part of a sentence.


In lieu of my absence a correct sentence?

'In lieu of my absence' is a phrase, not a sentence. As a phrase, it is grammatically correct, and could form part of a sentence, although it is not easy to think of such a sentence. It means 'Instead of my being absent ... ' So, how about 'In lieu of my absence, you have my presence!' as a jocular exclamation made by someone who turns up at a meeting for which s/he has previously given an apology for absence.


Which sentence is grammatically correct - Each one of you is a class act or Each one of you are a class act?

"Each one of you is a class act" is correct, because the simple subject "one" requires a singular verb. Despite its proximity to the verb "is", "you" is not any part of a simple subject of this sentence but instead is the object of a preposition in a prepositional phrase in the complete subject. Objects of prepositions functioning grammatically as such are never by themselves the simple subject of a sentence.


What is part of speech is from in the sentence where are you coming from?

"From" is a preposition. It doesn't seem like it because we expect prepositions to be followed by some phrase. The grammatically correct version of your sentence would be "From where are you coming?" Prepositions show time (when something happened) or space (where something is located). "From where" is location.

Which is correct One of the boys is Or One of the boys are?

One of the boys 'is' is grammatically right as 'one' is the subject and 'of the boys' is the prepositional phrase and so is not a part of the subject. This expression means that from a number of boys, only one is selected. Hence, 'is' is the correct option.

Which is grammatically correct - The best part about birthdays is the friends or the best part about birthdays are the friends?

You must match the verb to the subject, not to the word closest to it. The subject is "the best part" so the verb would be "is." "The best part is."


Is it grammatically correct to say what your plans are?

As part of a sentence, "what your plans are" is correct. For example, "Please let me know what your plans are" is a perfectly good sentence. If, however, you are asking whether "what your plans are" is a correct sentence by itself, it is not. If it is intended as a question, it should be "What are your plans?"


What is a sentence for kids using the word parcel?

The mail man delivered the parcel. (meaning box) My mother opened the parcel after it was delivered. (box) Her father wanted to buy a parcel of land. (a portion of land) The problem of kids being disrespectful is part and parcel of a bigger problem. (The phrase "part and parcel" originates as a legal term to describe the land someone owns.) As I stood on a parcel of ground my 5th great-grandfather once owned, I held and looked through the parcel of family keepsakes that my parents handed down to me. We decided to bury a metal box containing a parcel of our family's heirlooms on a corner of the parcel of land that my 5th great-grandparents owned. I imagined they would like the pictures I placed into the box and wrapped it with a bow. I did not want the keepsakes parceled out to my siblings and cousins. (parceled out = split up among; divided up )
