Hello,
As the module weeks are coming to an end, I am flooded with my students' works. This time I am not sure about the expression "soon the so much scared of followed".
Here is the lines from a story:
- So self-confident he was and certainly wouldn`t listen to any reasoning.
- Sure. And soon we saw prices going up and, what we were scared of the most, clients leaving. Soon the so much scared of followed. The higher the prices went, the fewer customers bought and many retailers backed out. In a word the company priced itself out of the market.
Apparently the student wanted to say that the thing the company dreaded the most happened. But how do I put it the right way-soon the thing we dreaded most happened or soon the scariest happened?
Thank you for the time and help.
