Hi there,
Sorry, I posted anonymously before realising I had a login.
"I lost the key that he had given to me". I've been told this sentence is wrong, because of the "to". Is that correct?
I was under the impression it was correct.
He had given me the key before I lost it. This seems ok with no "to" but the sentence I'm referring to seems better with "to".
Can someone help me please?
