Tears

Hi, please correct the following sentence, Thank you.

' She fought back her tears, feigning a soot straining her eyes.'
  

Top answer

Hi Vasuarm "She fought back her tears" is OK. The second half of your sentence has a grammatical error, and it is also incredibly awkward with respect to wording and word choice. The word "soot" is not countable, so you cannot say "a soot".
