[Grammar] Sounds strange?

[vpkannan]

Hi,

Can I simply say 'Sounds strange?' instead of 'Does it sound strange?'

Thanks.

Use "Sound strange?"

Does that sound strange? In casual conversation this may be shortened to Sound strange?

 

[Lynxear]

"Sound strange?" is fine but it must be said with a rising tone if you want it to sound like a question.

Either one is possible.

"Sound strange?" would be a shortened colloquial way of saying "Does it sound strange?"
"Sounds strange?" would be a shortened colloquial way of saying "Is it because it sounds strange?" or similar.

 

[bubbha]

"Sound strange?" is short for "Does it sound strange?"

Keep in mind that it's very informal spoken English.
