Dear teacher,
Is this sentence right?
"AS he walked, his mind wondered the real picture he hoped to paint."
Can "wonder" be followed with a noun directly?
Thank you! |

No.
As he walked, his mind wondered about the real picture he hoped to paint.

| Ah. When I first read it, I wondered if you meant "his mind wandered". |
