Of or for

Would you please correct these sentences:

I love such an experience, even though It may be the last (of mine/ for me). (It's too dangerous)

It's the best experience (of mine/ for me).

Thanks

I would love such an experience, even though it may be my last. It's too dangerous. It would be the best/greatest experience for me.

  • I would love such an experience, even though it may be my last.
  • It's too dangerous.
  • It would be the best/greatest experience for me.
  • That would be if referring to a future experience not yet tried.
  • If the event is happening now in the present, this may be used: I love an experience such as this, even though it may be my last/the last for me.

Modern English is "my experience".

If you are referring to an event in the past, you may possibly use "experience of mine", but it would be very formal or poetic speech that perhaps would be more likely in the UK than the US. A hundred years perhaps it would have been more common, but it sounds clumsy today. "I want to tell you about an experience of mine in Italy" is probably the only

Hi,

Broadly speaking, I'd say much depends on the sentence.

For example, I often say, and hear, eg 'A friend of mine told me something interesting yesterday'.

Moreover,

eg a friend
