Hello,

Which one is correct? Or are these both correct?

1. Along with the fear, I was beginning to feel impetience.
2.Along with the fear, I was beginning to feel impetient.


Thanks for the help in advance.

Given that you have used the noun "fear" in the first half of the sentence,I would stick with it and use the noun in the second half - "impatience".

I would remove the definite article though.

Note the correct spelling of "(im)patient/ce".

Oops! My mistake. Yeah, I am not really good at pronouncing words, but I'm doing my best to improve this. I listen to native speakers of English when I practice my pronunciation.

Dekaselinos - you need to start a New Thread for this question which is completely unconnected to the original thread on which you have posted. You won't get many replies here.
