behaviour

[musicgold]

Hi All,

Please suggest whether I need an 'a' before the 'behaviour' in the following sentence.

'The birthday bash may sound like a behaviour that has come to signify a bubble'

Thanks,

MG.

It's impossible for me to get hold of that sentence, I'm afraid.

A birthday party is not a behavior but an event.


While a behavior is not usual, it is certainly not impossible. However, before using a word or phrase you should make sure it makes sense in the context in which you wnat to use it. In the sentence in question, behaviour makes no sense.
