"This shows to you that I wasn't at all lying when I tell you how we as the final years, developed in the club by starting as poor speakers "
This was the reply of our University Gavel club president,when I showed him .one of his speeches three years ago..But I have a little grammar problem in this part..
"I wasn't at all lying when I tell you" ..Is this sentence correct?
