please see if this sentence make sense? and make corrections, please

As I move my hand across the plastic sheet, my fingernails made deep cuts on its surface.

Either move and make, or moved and made.

But if your fingernails made deep cuts, what you were doing was not "moving your hand" but "scratching."

Hi

Thanks for the response. please helpme furthur: I'm not trying to describe a deliberate action that causes the deep cuts. If I say:

I moved my hand across the plastic sheet, and incidentally made a deep cut on the surfqace.

is this better?

thanks.

Michael

Hi,

You seem to be thinking of 'accidentally'.

'On the surface' suggests your cut did not go right through the plastic sheet. Perhaps it's a very, very thick one?

Hi,
