1.While they may have a hard time relating to other political issues, mad cow disease and its dangers may be more understandable to them.
2.It is understandable that parents are angry, and looking for someone to blame.
3.It is understandable to me that parents are angry, and looking for someone to blame. |
I saw #1 and #2 in an newspaper and a dictionary each.
Now I wonder if #2 could be changed to #3 as the same meaning.
Could you solve my wondering? (Could you solve my wonder? :Which one is correct?)
Thanks. |
