hello dear friends!
 
Could you possibly tell me in the following expression is right?
 
"He was born out of Peter and Anna. two travelling actors"
 
I have just seen it and it seems to me a bit odd.
 
Thank you in advance

A bit odd - is an under statement.
 
He was the son of Peter and Anna, two travelling actors.
                                                       who were two travelling actors.  - sound better to me

Hello.

I don �t think I �ve ever heard that expression before. I think it �s supposed to be like this:

"He was born to Peter and Anna, two traveling actors."

Or better yet, if you �re not sure, you can just say:

"He is the son/child of Peter and Anna, two traveling actors."

I hope it helps. Smile
