The world survives

[Untaught88]

Hi,

Is ''The world survives on hope'' correct?

 

[Skrej]

If you mean grammatically correct, it would be if you added a period to the end of the sentence.

Whether it's true or not, I can't answer.

 

[Untaught88]

What about ''Life sustains on hope''?

 

[Skrej]

Again, you forgot your period.

With punctuation, it would also be grammatically correct.

Those are interesting sentences, Untaught. Did you compose them?

@Skrej, How can I add a full-stop? I think it's wrong to put a full-stop there. And yes, when I write it alone, I'll do that then.

@Tarheel, I tried to translate it. It is used in my language. Do they make sense? What do they mean?

 

[Tarheel]

"The world survives on hope" means that we need hope just to keep trying.

Eh?

Untaught88, you are right. Putting a full stop at the end of your sentence when it is followed by quotation marks and a question mark would be incorrect.
