Well, that's rich, I must say, since I spend a large part of my time here telling people to do exactly that. In this case there is no indication in the question that this is intended to be a sentence rather than a phrase.

Thank you for your great examples. Just curious, is 'he was sentenced with the death penalty' grammatically wrong, or just does not sound good?

"sentenced with ..." does not sound idiomatic to me.

Acknowledged. Thank you dear teacher.

Is acknowledged an appropriate word here that conveys that I understood what you said?

Thanks again.

What would you suggest instead? Also, I just wanted to know would it be appropriate to use the word acknowledged?
