Hi there,
please proofread the following sentence:

People are not willing to bring their own bags for shopping because this will bring them a lot of inconvenience.

I would say 'cause them a lot of inconvenience'.

Hi there,

How about 'cause a lot of inconvenience to them' or 'make a lot of inconvenience to them'?

thanks
pete

'cause a lot of inconvenience to them' - OK, but I prefer the other word order.

More likely:

People are not willing to bring their own bags for shopping because it would be inconvenient.

(Don't say "make inconvenient" as that combination isn't used.)
