Description
I ran into an [issue](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/3385) in the React docs that caused me to misparse a sentence: a compound verb.
> ...it only shallow copies `log n` objects...
There ought to be a way to catch ADJ+V combinations like this. A suggested change which I think is easier to read would be:
> ...it only makes a shallow copy of `log n` objects...

The issue describes detecting adjective-plus-verb compound constructions in the prose linter, but names no files or tests. Start by locating existing grammar checks and how they are tested; done means the example compound verb is reported while the suggested wording is not.
