Correct

When I got to the party, Jack was admiring about me to the people. Is this sentence correct and does it mean he was talking good about me?
  

Top answer

No, it isn’t grammatical and wouldn’t be understood. Jack was speaking of me in a complimentary way to the people. He was praising me and saying nice things about me.
