[Grammar] question

[pasquale123]

I have two sentences what is the right one?

1)as soon as he realized the danger he was braking
2)as soon as he realized the danger he braked.

why?

Without proper capitalization and punctuation, both are incorrect.

May I say "He braked as soon as he realized the danger"?

Number 1 is not natural. Number 2 works.

"As soon as he realized the danger, he braked."
"When he realized the danger, he was listening to the radio."

Not a teacher.

"He hit the brakes" would be natural.

Please note that a better title should be "as soon as he realized the danger he braked", because thread titles should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.

Welcome to the forums.

Please use proper capitalization and punctuation in your posts.

We certainly don't expect people to be perfect, but we do expect them to try, and using capital letters and punctuation shows you are trying.
