Is the sentence "There is some chance they're being followed" can be considered to be a correct sentence? I think this sentence could be written in the following ways. But I'm not sure which one from following is correct, and which wrong. Would anybody help me?
"There is some chance of they are being followed."
Or
"There is some chance of them being followed."
Or
"There is some chance theirs being followed"
Or
"There is some chance that they are being followed."
@Azah,
Examples 2 and 4 are equivalent and acceptable. The other two are not.
(Not that in your opening sentence, 'they're' is simply an abbreviated form of 'that they are')
@fresco,
Please tell me why other options are incorrect.
