Are these sentences natural? October 19
Hi,
Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?
1. From the observation point we could see hills covered with trees, in a distance.
2. It was kind of funny watching them tear (at) each other’s clothes. ( is ‘at’ required)
3. They are part of a same data table ( should it be the same table or a same table? The reader doesn’t know about the table).
Thanks,
MG.
