Hi teachers. I have several question to this sentence:
The two dogs sat motionless by the door, silenced by the sound of pounding rain.
- Is this sentence correct, natural, and well-structured?
- Does 'silenced' seem natural to combine with 'motionless' here?
- Also, does 'silenced' mean that the dogs are silent or that they maybe are barking but the sound of that is drowned out by the sound of rain?
The two dogs sat motionless by the door, silenced by the sound of pounding rain. - Is this sentence correct, natural, and well-structured? It's OK.
