Grammar

A noun + to + verb

Hello everyone,

I am curious about the relation between them.

Example,

The first question:

1-) The director came to the big hall to announce that a few workers were fired where everyone was excitedly waiting.

(According to me, It is incorrect gramatically)

or

2-) The director came to the big hall where everyone was excitedly waiting to announce that a few workers were fired.

(It is correct but a little but confusing. Who will announce, everyone or the director?)

or

3-) To announce that a few workers were fired, The director came to the big hall where everyone was excitedly waiting.

(The best option)


The second question:

1-) The judge made a decision to punish John which was based on the strong evidence from the crime scene.(Gramatically not the best, because relative clause word "which" is far away from "a decision", but very easy to be understood)

or

2-) The judge made a decision which was based on the strong evidence from the crime scene to punish John.

(Gramatically correct but the relative clause is too long and "to punish John" is too far away from the main sentence.)

or

3-) To punish John, the judge made a decision which was based on the strong evidence from the crime scene.

(Correct again)


I wrote my thoughts about them. It is your turn Emotion: smile Thank you very much..
