Grammar
On my way to buy soy sauce
There is popular saying in China. I would like to ask your opinion if the sentence make sense in English.
I 'm just a casual bystander on my way to buy soy sauce.
What the sentence wants to express is that I have nothing to do or say with what you are doing or saying.
Please help check if the sentence is correct grammatically and if it works. Thanks.
