a cliff Hello,
Is this "definition "grammatically correct , please?
"A cliff is a sort of mountain that stops into the sea."
Thanks a lot

Re: a cliff No.
Why do you need to make a definition of your own when there are all these here?

Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: a cliff Thank you.
I had to define "cliff" in a test yesterday and I just wanted to know if my "definition" was understandable.
Thank you

Re: a cliff Sorry, but it's not a very good definition. "Stops into" isn't an expression. And cliffs do not have to be on the coast.
