That settles it. Thanks Gwen, TDOL, and Talktown.
It is interesting though, I thought they were wrong and you think they are not natural. As a non-native speaker, I guess I must have thought that it is better to avoid these structures and classified them (unconsciously) as "wrong". This happens to me quite often and I am ttrying to figure out what structures classified in my head as "wrong" are merely "unnatural". One does occasionally come across such structures in books. I don't have the example at hand but will try to post it later. |
