 Re: Can you use two "in"s in this sentence? and order of words?
Thank you so much again, Sue.
I have just come up with two more pairs of similar sentences. Could you please explain them?
(3a) We will meet in the school John graduated from last year.
(3b) We will meet in the school where John graduated from last year.
(4a) I can add up all the big numbers on the calculator for you within an hour.
(4b) I can add up all the big numbers for you on the calculator within an hour.
In both 3 a and b, I think you need "from" because "in" connects "our meeting" to "the school" and "John's graduation" to the "school".
In (4), I am not sure which one sounds more natural to native English speakers.
Please help me. Thank you very much. |
