Hello again!

I’ve always been someone has been a big believer if you put your mind to your to be able to accomplish it. However this wasn’t until I started to try to get pregnant. I was really shellshocked that I wasn’t able to get pregnant because I thought I was very healthy and same with me.

Could we take the whole sentence into account?

I’ve always been someone has been a big believer if you put your mind to your to be able to accomplish it.

I think there is something missing from it.

Shouldn't it read as follows?

I’ve always been someone WHO/THAT has been a big believer if you put your mind to your ???? to be able to accomplish it.

Maybe the author meant to say "if you put your mind to IT????" :roll:

What do you think?

By the way, what do you call the intentional omission of relative pronouns.

Isn't it a Greek word?

I know that according to the rules neither religion nor politics should be discussed. I don't think it is the case in this case. A believer may mean a supporter. Please put me right if I am wrong.

There is so much wrong with the sentences quoted that it's difficult to know where to start.

What's 'Candy Town' anyway?

Candy Town is a computer game for kids based around the Peanuts (Snoopy) cartoon. Candy Town 2 is the sequel. I have no idea what the game has to do with the contents of that post.

I would reduce this to simply if you put your mind to it.
