alc24 Could you tell me what you think of this grammatically? Hi, I am very curious how you come up with the sentences that you have posted. I have been reading your questions, which by the way usually are evolving phrases and whether or not you can say it in a certain patterns, rarely about grammaticality.

Hello Anon.

Thank you for the help, Is the first batch just like the second? and the last sentence how would you say it please?

I read a lot so I come across sentences and then I either come up with a sentence that has to do with the one I've read or I watch a film in french and try to translate it, thinking to myself how you'd say it in english. I'm french and I used to live in

To be honest, I didn't touch the first "batch" because they sounded a bit awkward and I didn't want to get too analytical. If you read a lot, I take it that you have learned a lot about sentence patterns and structures. I would suggest that you follow what you extract from your reading. You tend to have too many nouns and phrases in your sentences which may or may not be suitable to the contexts.
