 Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 6:51 am Post subject: Where to put "so strongly" |
 |
|
1) Never in my life have I been so strongly attracted to any man.
2) Never in my life have I been attracted so strongly to any man.
3) Never in my life have I so strongly attracted to any man.
(question) Which of the 3 is correct? I think all of the above are.

Sentences 1 and 2 are fine.
Sentence 3 is incorrect. The word been is necessary to make it passive voice -- you are not attracting men; you are attracted by them. |

(Quote) #3 should have been like this:
3) Never in my life have I so strongly BEEN attracted to any man.
(Question) Is this correct?
