Hi English teachers,
could I ask if my following sentence is acceptable?Thanks in advance.
I am not a person who forgives people easily but a person who harbors enmity.
@Loh Jane,
Sounds fine to me. You should decide whether you want the British spelling in the title, or the American as in the text.
Perfectly acceptable . . . and i agree with Roger, you should adopt either British spelling (harbour) or American spelling (harbor), and you should use whatever style you choose for all of your spelling.
@Loh Jane,
Sound fine to me too. I'd put a comma after "easily".
@Loh Jane,
I would leave out the word 'people', and put a comma after 'easily'.
I am not a person who forgives easily, but a person who harbours enmity.
