Hello everybody!
I would like to engrave something in a ring but before I would like to know if it is make grammatical sense Wink

"...taking you to the moon" would be my idea.
So can everybody tell me if this is grammatical correct or better suggestions?

Thanks!

Peter

@Peter88,

It is certainly grammatical, Peter. I would drop the ... if it was me
but I don't know the history behind the words like you do.

@Peter88,

It's a nice phrase, but I would like better:

Let me take you to the moon.

or

Let's fly to the moon together.

@Peter88,

"...taking you to the moon" is an incomplete sentence, it has no subject, (and barely a verb). Can you better explain what it is you want to connote, or say?

@Jack of Hearts,

That's an old canard that we always speak or write in complete sentences,

@JTT,

That's very true. Still, I think expressing a sentiment with correct grammar, (as we are asked), a subject is needed - is it peter88; the ring itself; the presentation???
As you said, in and of itself, it is grammatically correct. My point is it is not grammatically complete. We all seem to want to know more, because the subject is known only to the author. That may well be his intention, a phrase whose meaning is known by only two.

@Jack of Hearts,

I say bingo to your last two sentences, Jack. "Forever" might be way more
than enough or even 'X', right?

Slogans, mottoes etc. are almost never grammatically complete or correct. So what?
