Question Contact

Hello, I need your assistance.

In the below sentence, how can I reword the section of the sentence that says, "to all who she come in contact with"

She has enstilled this faith in her children and grandchildren, and to all who come in contact with her.

If you can reply ASAP would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello HMORRIS,
You are almost there. There is just one small problem with your grammar.

"She has instilled this faith in her children and grandchildren, and in all who come in contact with her."

You can only instill "in", not "to".

If you wish to use "to" you will have to change the first clause to -

"She has passed on this faith to her children and grandchildren, and to all who come in contact with her."

I hope this is of help to you.

Kind regards,
Fieldmouse.
