solomonzelman · Answer

World's most horrible sentences:

$\normalsize\color{blue}{     \rm The~~man~~arrived~~at~~the~~park~~and~~set~~in~~his~~favorite~~place, \ underneath~~an~~evergreen~~tree,~~with~~~a~~~book.       }$   

(this is how I would say it)

solomonzelman · Answer

or,  you an write "with a book" right after  word "place" instead.

anonymous · Answer

You can write With a book in the beginning of the sentence if it follows a comma.

You're welcome.

solomonzelman · Answer

What do you mean, "can I not" , I am just saying that whatever this school the questioner is attending, has horrible English classes.

solomonzelman · Answer

Why? because it is preferable (if not a must) for a sentence to follow parallelism.

anonymous · Answer

Ha ha, I don't follow those complex steps. I just see which sentence makes the most sense.

solomonzelman · Answer

all of the choices, are not "wrong", but for the least part, they are not very "appropriate."

this is where a distinction between inappropriate and appropriate is drawn.

solomonzelman · Answer

anyway, by no means do I want to interrupt, so stick to the options, is what I would council.

anonymous · Answer

Ok

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, I know. I hate it when I have those type of questions too.
