[Grammar] He had promised... still hadn't finished

[englishhobby]

Are both sentences grammatical, or only the first one?
1) He had promised to do the job in an hour, but he still hadn't finished by 10 o'clock
2) He promised to do the jod in an hour, but he still hadn't finished by 10 o'clock.

#1 has no final punctuation mark and #2 has a typo.

#1 has no final punctuation mark and #2 has a typo.

But when those errors are corrected, both sentences will be correct.

Sorry, I can't correct the post now as this option doesn't seem to be available for some reason. There may be something wrong with my computer or the period during which you can make amendments to your post is limited now...

You can only edit your posts up to 24 hours after posting, but I wouldn't want you to do that anyway.

Please rewrite your sentences with amendments.
