Which of these two sentences are correct:
1-In the room, there was John, dead.
2-In the room, there was John dead.

May I write this "In the room, was John dead"?
How about these two sentences:
1-In the room, there was John dead and Sally injured.
2-In the room, there were three people dead.
Yes, but the comma is in the wrong place. Try: "In the room was John, dead." Another possibility: "In the room we found John, dead." In both sentences, the last word is an adjective describing the condition John was found in. (Not good.)Originally Posted by vvaann

The first sentence would work better like this: "In the room they found John dead and Sally injured." The second sentence is fine as is.Originally Posted by navi tasan
