Hi.
Are my two sentences idiomatic? Will native speakers use them?
1) He disjointed his wrist when he fell.
2) This (The Grand Canal) met a pressing need by linking the Yangtze Valley, which had become the economic center of the country, with the North, which remained the political center.
1) is okay but formal. I don't remember the source of 2) but I'm sure there are not from reliable sources. I think the 2) is okay too.
