Is the following sentence correct [STRIKE]or not[/STRIKE]?

I meant to call you, but I didn't feel very well by the end, and I completely forgot.

By the end? I don't know what end, but I assume the person you didn't call does.

I think you mean "in the end".

I meant to call my friend. In the end, I didn't, because I didn't feel well.

Is it possible to say?

I meant to call you, but I wasn't feeling very well by the end and I completely forgot.

I meant to call you, but I wasn't feeling very well. In the end, I completely forgot about it.

You are trying to cram too many things in one sentence.

That's fine if the person you're talking to knows what you mean by "the end".

 

[tedmc]

I think "by the end" cannot be used on its own. Perhaps "by the end of the day".

Polyester deals in standalone sentences, though.

Polyester deals in standalone sentences, though.

That's true. In that case, yes, it's grammatically correct (even if none of us knows what it means).

I would just say I wasn't feeling well. Perhaps:

I wanted to call you, but I wasn't feeling well.

 

[emsr2d2]

Polyester, why is your title "not feel" when those two words don't appear together anywhere in your post?

 

[Tdol]

That's true. In that case, yes, it's grammatically correct (even if none of us knows what it means).

La plume de ma tante

Does that mean there's a word missing?

That post illustrates the difference between being a native speaker and a learner. If you're a native speaker there might be a word missing and you don't even notice. (You unconsciously put the word in in the right place because you know it's supposed to be there. If you're a learner you might be confused.)

 

[emsr2d2]

Does that mean there's a word missing?

No, it's a phrase that describes something that is grammatically correct but has limited practical application. See HERE.

(If you were referring to the missing word in my previous post, you will note that I have added it. I spotted it on re-reading the thread before I'd seen your response.)

Wow! I just learned some French. (It will, appropriately, be totally useless to me.)
