[General] Mobile Causes more benefit than harm.

[saloom2]

Hello everyone,

I want better sentence than this one.

Mobile phones cause more benefit than harm to our society.

Are you talking about mobile phones?

 

[saloom2]

Yes. And sorry about the typo. Anyway, what do you think of this sentence?

 

[emsr2d2]

Now you have changed it to "mobile phones", you need to look at your verb agreement.

 

[saloom2]

Done!

We don't "cause benefit". Something simply "benefits" something else. Although we can "cause harm", we can also simply "harm". Bearing that in mind, try your sentence again.

Thanks a lot. What about saying 'Mobile phones harm our society, not benefit.' ?

 

[Rover_KE]

That doesn't work, either. Now you are saying that mobile phones are of no benefit to our society. Mine is very useful indeed.

I can't actually say it well. Any recommendation?

Mobile phones benefit our society more than they harm it.
