Is my sentence grammatically correct?

To talk to him for a long time, you would realise that he is very emotional.

  

Top answer

Yes, the grammar is good. But, in my opinion, the usage is a bit off. 'realise' should be replaced by a word that corresponds more appropriately with the idea in the opening clause.

  • To talk to him (for a long time), you would [say / think / conclude] that he is very emotional.
  • This phrasing suggests that maybe he was not very emotional, and we half-expect the continuation to be "But he wasn't very emotional".
