Her journey of getting well started after Easter.
Her journey to recovery started after Easter
Are both correct or only the second one?
If you want to stay healthy: avoid alcohol , don`t smoke, to take another case: get enough sleep.....
Is the `to take another case�okay?
Please indicate Okay/Wrong |

Wrong. Try this: Her journey to get well started after Easter.
Her journey to recovery started after Easter.
Okay!
Both sentences are good, but they mean slightly different things. "Getting well" is related to being sick with the flu. "Recovery" is more general, but with a definite outcome of being healed or making changes that will make her life better. Small difference, but you may want to choose the one that fits what you are trying to convey.
If you want to stay healthy: avoid alcohol , don`t smoke, to take another case: get enough sleep.....
Wrong. Try this: If you want to stay healthy, avoid alcohol, don't smoke, and get enough sleep.
"to take another case" isn't used in English. |
