[naohsi]

Dear teachers

Are those 2 same meaning?
if so, which one sounds more natural?

1. I came across with an old photogragh of my mother.
2. I happened to find an old photogragh of my mother.

naohsi

[lotus]

Hi naohsi,

The second sentence is correct:
I happened to find an old photograph of my mother.

The first sentence should be:
I came across an old photograph of my mother.

Both sound natural.


--lotus
