Question

Jack was a popular writer of comics

is there any mistake on this sentence ? ( correct it , if exists)

Answer 1

Jack -- subject
was -- verb
a -- article (adj)
popular -- adj
writer -- direct object
of comics -- prep phrase (adj)....of - preposition, comics - object of preposition.
oops...needs a period at the end...otherwise, it is correct.

Answer 2

Well, I share with you the same opinion , my teacher persist that this sentence is wrong
and we must replace (of) with (with) because of (popular) Is he right ?

Answer 3

popular is just an adjective that modifies writer telling what kind of writer. You do not even need it in the sentence. I disagree with your teacher..but then again, I am not an English teacher....so its up to you.

Answer 4

also..." of comics " is just a prep phrase..it is not needed either. The entire sentence without prep phrases and adjectives (which are not needed) is ...Jack was a writer...anything added to this sentence is just extra info.

Answer 5

When I told him that , he said "You can even get rid of "writer" and the sentence will be meaningful".
Jack was popular with crime fiction. Regarding what you said, I believe you are right and I am typing such a silly sentence here to make sure I am right.
