Exactly about

Hi.


I entered college, if I remember exactly about 15 years ago and graduated about 4 years later.


Is the above sentence correct and natural?

  

Top answer

It is largely OK but it needs a comma after "exactly", and I would also put one after "ago". I entered college, if I remember exactly , about 15 years ago , and graduated about 4 years later.

Are both of these correct? They seem contradictory.

Yes, you do have a point. Perhaps this would be better:

I entered college, if I remember correctly, about 15 years ago, and graduated about 4 years later.
