It seem like an odd sentence to me. Wouldn't that person have to come in before he could shake hands (or refuse to shake hands) with you?

Is this sentence correct:
1-He refused to come in, refusing even to shake hands with me.

Not necessarily. I might be at the door, or even outside in front of the door...
I think it's ok, but that might be due to AmE and BE variations.Originally Posted by navi tasan
