"There is a group of six people. Who are very good friends but their group disperses because of one person who wants to leave the group because of some diffrences with the group leader".

Please check these sentences.

"Their group dispersed because of that guy. Who left group."

"He destroyed that group."

"He made them disperes or scatter."

"He provoked everyone against the group leader and made them leave the group."
 
'... broke up' is a more natural choice than 'disperses'.

We were a group of six people. We were good friends, but the group broke up because of one person who wanted to leave the group because of some differences with the leader.


"There is a group of six people. Who are very good friends but their group breaks up because of one person who wants to leave the group."



"Their group broke up because of that guy. Who left group."

"He broke up that group."

"He made them disperes or scatter." (This one cannot be changed).

"He provoked everyone against the group leader and made them leave the group." (This one also).

Are these correct now? Are the last two sentences correct?
 
Tufguy, "break up" does not mean the same thing as "disperse". Perhaps:

That group broke up because of that guy who turned everybody against the group leader.
 
"There is a group of six people who are very good friends ...


Tufguy, in both your posts, you erroneously split one sentence into two, by putting a full stop after "people" and starting a new sentence with "Who". That's incorrect. See the correct version above. It would be better as "There a six people who are very good friends ..."
 
Correction for post# 1.

But "scatter" or "disperse" can be used as well, right? Although "break up" is a better choice. What about my first two sentences?
 
Please wait for one question to be dealt with before posting more.

You have been told that 'disperse is not the ideal verb in your sentences.



That is possible.


NO
'Turned' would be a better word than 'provoked'.

Post# 3 was in question and you replied for post# 1.
 
I give up.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you or make you angry. I was just telling you that post# 3 was the amended one.
 
The fact remains that you have been told several times now that "disperse" is not a good verb for this context but you keep using it. Can you see why we think you're just not listening?!

Sorry guys, yes now I know, I can't use "disperse" or "scatter". Actually, I had to amend post# 1 but I couldn't change the third sentence thats why I left it as it is. I didn't want to use it and my query was about my first two sentences from post# 3. I removed the third sentence and amended the last one.

"[strike]Their[/strike] The group broke up because of that guy (no full stop here) who left [the group]."

"He broke up [strike]that[/strike] ​the group."

OK. If we are only dealing with the first two sentences from post #3, then please see my corrections to them above.
