I would act normal, feeling as if I was leading a double life.
Hi all
I am wondering if the second sentence is a good alternative to the first sentence, which I feel is cumbersome.
I would act normal and I would feel that I was leading a double life.
I would act normal, feeling as if I was leading a double life.
Thank you
Best wishes

Neither sentence is right. If you lead a double life, you don't "feel" like you're living a double life, you just live a double life. And if you're living a double life, it goes without saying that you will take great pains to act normal, so that you conceal the fact that you're not what you appear to be.

0The first sentence needs a comma before the conjunction, because there are two independent clauses. The second version is good English, and it is slightly different from the first, bringing as it does the two ideas together.
