    Default recommend

    Is this sentence grammatically correct? Can you recommend a better one.


    As I grew up my taste changed.

    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    You made 3 spelling mistakes in a 6 word sentence.

    I normally wouldn't point this out so bluntly but you indicated English as your native language.

    Thank you for pointing that out. It's realy embarrassing; however, it's more my typing that's questionable than my dictation.

    Celtaflorida, please note that As I grew up my taste changed would have been a more meaningful thread title.

    It's grammatically correct, but I recommend the use of '. . . my tastes changed' for general use and '. . . my taste in music changed' for a more specific example.
