is this sentence ok?
His daughter had given him the satisfaction of becoming grandfather
What I'd like to convey is the idea of a proud grandad for his daughter having given him two nephews...................
This sentence does not sound correct to me (and I guess I am not wrong) but I don't know how to put it....
Are these his first grandchildren? If so, it is worth adding "for the first time".Originally Posted by minnie2007

Maybe '... after two grandsons, his daughter had at last given him the satisfaction of being grandfather to a baby girl.'
b
yes they are grandchildren and, not, it is not a girl coming ut after twe boys but simply he has become grandad for the first time ever........
One more doubt. Is it ok to modify the sentence this way:
His daughter, with the birth of Andrew, had given him the satisfaction of becoming a grandfather
Thanks
That's fine.
For smoothness you could rephrase it:
With the birth of Andrew, his daughter ...
Thanks a lot for your help! Have a nice day
