Hello

Are the following sentences grammatically correct?

"I don`t want you to tell this to Chloe. You have to tell her that we will continue “trying” to help Flynn."

Thanks.

They're grammatically acceptable but I don't know why "trying" is in quotation marks.

Dear emsr2d2:

First of all, thanks for your help!

Because they are not trying to help Flynn. They are making him believe that he sees ghost, but it is a hoax.
