00The sentence above, the underlined part, seems not to be correct to me, because "suburban tangles of elderberry and ailanthus and day lilies" seems OK, but where does the "run wild" come from?02br
02br
00To be correct, shouldn't it be "rank suburban tangles where elderberry and ailanthus and day lilies ran wild"?02br
02br
00What is native speaker's sense of English here?02br
