							| Plz, could someone explain this sentence? 
 |  
							| School
uniforms forbid them from traversing their sense of panache as well as would
curb them from displaying their latest collection within there milieu.  Is it right? or should it be within their milieu??  If it�s right I don�t understand the meaning... Thanks in advance!      |  3 Mar 2019

							| "Their milieu" is correct. Many native speakers also use the wrong homophone.    I personally would also change "traversing" to "expressing" and "would curb" to "curbing." Since traversing is going across, it doesn�t really make sense here. I�d change to curbing to maintain a parallel structure for stylistic purposes.   I also assume that "them" and "their" have students as an antecedent in an earlier sentence. Otherwise, your student needs to specify students somewhere.   I hope this is helpful to you!  |  3 Mar 2019

							| Thanks a million for your prompt answer Moody, I really apreciate it. Yes, you are right, The sentence is connected to another where it makes it clear that is talking about the students. I understood it perfectly, and I see that sometimes there are mistakes made by native too, and in this case I usually break my brain thinking where the trick is, and actually there wasn�t any, hehhe!! Thanks loads, seriously!!   Aisha   EDIT: Btw, I agree with you that the verb tense "would curb" would be better "curbing" to keep the same extructure, as you well said. It is the same in Spanish. ;))) |  4 Mar 2019
