2. Experiments should be stopped on animals.
As native speaker which version do you prefer?

 

[probus]

It depends on context, but I tend to prefer number 1.

 

[tranlam1609]

can you give me the contexts in which I should use version 1 or 2?

Can you give me the contexts in which I should use version 1 or 2?

Start every sentence with a capital letter.

The idea of the forum is that you provide the context in which you want to use the sentences.

Please note that a better title would have been Experiments on animals should be stopped.

[MikeNewYork]

I would always use #1.

 

[Matthew Wai]

I think #2 should be used if 'animals' is followed by a long relative clause.

I am not a teacher.

It depends, but I would say version number 2.

 

[Tdol]

The first is the natural one for me.

It depends, but I would say version number 2.
