Hi everyone, this is my first time posting. Well I'm quite intrigued with the word 'dawn on' as what I have observed from google search is that the word is often used with "that" as in "it dawned on me that ...". I was thinking if the word can be used with a noun. My context is as follow
"mounting cases of child abuse have dawned on young couple the feasibility of entrusting elderly with the care of their children when maids have steadfastly been identified to be the culprit of the malefaction."
Well what I mean is that young couple have come to realise the possibility of entrusting their children to the elderly when maids have been evidently accused to be the person behind the mounting case of child abuse. thanks in advance!
