Is 'He saw before him was not a horse, but a bear' grammatical?
Can I add a 'was' or 'was's into the original sentence?
Original: A horse! He could not believe his eyes. A thick cloud was in his eyes, flashing with points of light. He rubbed his eyes fiercely to clear his sight. Then he saw before him not a horse, but a great brown bear. The animal was studying him with curiosity.
