The first sentence is the question and second one is the answer. I was wondering if grammar used in the second one makes sense?The way you post some of your questions is irritating, ostap77. It seems you have posted a short dialogue entitled "possible answer". Do you want people to give you their opinion on its literary value? Or do you want somebody to tell you whether the second sentence is possible? Or perhaps to tell you what are the possible answers to
How have you been during the past week?
Or maybe to
I was sick. But I've been recovering now though I'm still coughind.
It isn't very difficult to post your actual question.
I haven't been well. But I'm recovering now, though I've still got a bit of a cough.1)"How have you been during the past week?"
2)"I was sick. But I've been recovering now though I'm still coughind."
I haven't been well. But I'm recovering now, though I've still got a bit of a cough.
All things are possible, Ostap - even that one day you won't have a follow-up question to your original one.Suppose I felt sick on Friday and ran a high temperature. Buy on Saturday the temperature droped and I had only a bad cough. When Monday came and I met my friend I was almost OK just had a bit of a cough. Would it be possible to say it this way without "now''.
"I felt really sick. I've been recovering ( meaning since Saturday when the temperature droped) thought I have a bit of a cough." Possible?
