Grammar
meaning?
Dear teachers,
What do you understand from the following sentence? (I haven't got any more context)
"Tom recalled that he had decided to leave Murchinson’s two rings on his hands."
Are the two rings on Murchinson's or Tom's hands? How do you know?
Is it correct to say : "to carry / wear a ring in one's finger"?
Wishing you all the pleasures that this New Year can bring.

It sounds like Tom murdered Murchison but decided not to steal his rings-- but with no further context, the rings could as well be on Tom's hands. We wear rings, not carry them, on our fingers.
