Is this sentence correct: "He feels happy and I tired."

Should there be a comma before "tired"?


Thanks for any replies

anonymous Should there be a comma before "tired"? Yes, and before "and". That's why this is not a very good sentence.

That's not going to work. For one thing, 'tired' can be interpreted as a verb meaning 'got tired', so it's slightly confusing. And then 'feel' isn't one of those verbs that works well when elided.

You need this: He feels happy, and I feel tired.

For this pattern to work the contrast needs to be more
