 Re: ellipsis
It might sound unnatural - it would depend on the context. Always provide a full context when you ask a question as it makes it much easier to answer - language use is always context dependent. You'll notice i had to invent one to discuss it. Certainly, as I said, other forms are more frequent, for the reasons I gave. Your sentence breaks the general rule and therefore might sound odd in some contexts - but that doesn't mean it couldn't be used in others. |
