A few questions
Hi, just to say, I'll be really grateful to whomever helps me out with these.
1) is this ungrammatical?
It forced me, and I believe my opponent, to for the first time begin to consider that the debate was pointless.
Is that "to" after "opponent" redundant? And if so does that make it ungrammatical or just poorly written?
2) s this ungrammatical?
;a walking path on the left side of the road, tucked in and greener* with some canopy, as well as often a truck parked outside a pub;
* in text ^ forms part of : list so greener refers to other list item.
As in the "with" being extended in the clause beginning "as well as". Sorry if that's ^ hard to parse.
3) is this ungrammatical?
He was rarely annoying, and then even in only a very slight way.
4)
Would you accept wind-y as a stand in for winding, as in convoluted loopy vectors, not breeze.
Thank you guys.
