Is this sentence correct??
|
|
Like all other days, it was very quiet in Lembort, the remote and the forgotten village.
What �s wrong with this sentence??
One of my students wrote this sentence and I think it �s not correct? Am I right??? |

I would leave out the second "the". Like all other days, it was very quiet in Lembort, the remote and forgotten village. |

Marion �s suggestion is grammatically correct, but I think it would sound more natural to say: Like all other days, it was very quiet in the remote and forgotten village of Lembort. |

I have a creepy feeling that a native speaker would say "Like any other day(s)" instead of
"Like all other days " Giorgi |

I agree with all the other posts. So it depends how much you want to correct the student. |

Hi Donia
I started to respond yesterday and got side-tracked. But my response was the same as MarionG - it sounds better without the second article.
Cheers
