Hello to all and thank you for all your previous help. I have another question.
'He introduced me to Mr Brown, his teacher, and his friend'.
The above sentence is taken from a grammar instruction book. The book goes on to explain that the speaker is being introduced to two people: the unnamed friend and his teacher, Mr Brown. It then goes on to say that if the speaker was grammatically unaware perhaps he was talking about three people; Mr Brown, the teacher and his friend.
I realise that I am only starting my journey in learning grammar but I automatically assumed that the speaker was referring to three people, which indicates that I am grammatically unaware.
How would the above sentence need to be constructed if the speaker was referring to three people?
Thank you.
