Grammar Matters



Read the following sentences and decide if they are guilty or not guilty of following proper grammar laws.

The above is the first sentence taken from one of the series entitled “Grammar Matters” of articles appearing periodically in THE STAR’S MIND OUR ENGLISH.

Try and see if there is anything wrong in the sentence before proceeding to read further my comments to the editor and his reply below.

My Comments
I refer to the series of subject articles which are a good guide to grammar in Mind our English.
The first sentence in the one of October 12 under the headline Guilty or Not? may, however, have to be re-written as, "Read the following sentences and decide if they are guilty or not guilty of not following proper grammar laws" to avoid muddled logic.

The Editor’s Reply
You are absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out.
