Does this sound grammatical to native E-speakers?
Dear Teachers,
Could you please comment on the following?
(1) "Alex worked with a very high priority on this issue".
(2) "Many thanks to Alex, who coordinated to activities between
many people on different levels".
I wonder if these sentences are both perfect English? ( The highlighted is what looks "suspect" to me... )
Kind regards
