Grammar
I was willing to leave you in shame in front of the whole school
Dear forum members
In the sentence "I was willing to leave you in shame in front of the whole school" is the grammar correct?
Context: Ted and Clive are talking. Ted is confessing to Clive that he had a plan to embarras Clive in front of all school years ago.
Maybe is a better option the sentence
I was willing ashame you in front of the whole school
Thanks for your time!
