Are number 2 and 3 the same as number 1? Thanks.
1. I'm learning one method to program the computer and believe in that.
2. I believe in one method to program the computer I am learning.
3. I believe in learning one method to program the computer. |

To my opinion, 1. means that you are learning the method. In addition, you believe in this method, as well.
2. means that you are learning the computer. In addition, you believe in a method to program it.
3. means that you believe in the learning of the method.
In my opinion, that they are all a very little bit different... |

mings...
1. sounds awkard. the end of the sentence is not necessary (and believe in that).
2, 3 are correct...just a different way to say it.

Thank you.
I know that the end of number 1 is awkard but it is needed because it suggests the verb "believe" for us to do many other sentences with the same meaning from the origin sentence.
According to admiral's explanation, number 3 is the same number 1.
Thank both of you. |
