Help required for correcting sentence

Dear colleagues, Is this sentence grammatically correct? He had been searching for a blue balloon that had escaped from his herd. Many thanks in advance |

Yes, it is, but I don �t think it can stand alone. It needs a subordinate clause. �He had been searching for a blue balloon that had escaped from his herd when he was abducted by a dead sheep.�

I respectfully disagree. The grammar is perfectly fine. I wonder, though, what a herd of animals was doing with a blue balloon in the first place! |

I’m writing about a family spectacle for children „Mr.Tenorek”. The balloon had escaped from the balloon herd, therefor the balloon breeder had been searching for it. https://teatrkamienica.pl/pl/spektakle/94/pan-tenorek-i-blekitny-balonik Thank you so much for your response and help, cunliffe and MoodyMoody

Glutenfree: "He had been searching for a blue balloon that had escaped from his herd". In the context of your description, this sentence is fine and is grammatically correct. Therefore, I am happy to be in agreement with the other Members. Les Douglas
