 Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2011 11:43 pm Post subject: something is missing in the sentence |
 |
|
There seems to be so much in life that we don't have control over even in the midest of the best-made plans. Given this uncertainty, there are a lot of opportunities for frustration, disappointment and distress. But what is important to remember is that even in the midst of uncertainty and plans gone wrong, you can be the master of your attitude.
I think the underlined sentence is grammatically wrong. Am I right? |

No, you are not right. |
There is no underlined sentence; only a part of the sentence is underlined. |

Well, I am sorry for not getting my point straight.
But even in the underlined part, I think there is still something grammatically wrong.
Shall we say "in the midst of uncertainty and plans (which had) gone wrong" instead? |

You can say that but you don't need to say it. The meaning is very clear without the extra words and that part of the sentence is grammatically correct without those words.
'He's a man in big trouble.'
You don't need to add 'who is'.

So next time I can say the following without any doubt:
This is a plan gone wrong. |
