Hi,

I was wondering if the following sentence is fine: “Beeing considered a boring person it depends of our point of view”.

Thanks.

2

Definitely not.
My suggestion:
It depends on a person’s point of view as to whether someone is considered to be boring.

3

Hi Bev, thanks for your suggestion. (Your sentence is still too difficult for my English.)

:slight_smile:

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

Hello, Francis:

How about:

“Whether or not a person is boring is a matter of opinion.”

5

Hi James,

Yes, your sentence is a bit easier for my elementary English.

Thanks for your attention. :wink:

6

I think your original sentence was not too far off - I guess you meant “Being a boring person depends on our point of view.” - but who is the “our” here? the boring people or the observers?

7

Hi Luschen,

In my mind, our = the observers. :slight_smile:

Thank you for your kind note, Francis.

If you don’t mind, as close to the original as I can: Considering a person to be boring depends on your point of view. (It depends on your point of view whether to consider a person boring.)

10

That’s what I wanted to say.

11

That’s not well constructed though. It seems that what you really wanted to say was:
Whether you consider a person to be boring (or not) depends on your point of view.

12

Yes, I confirm. :slight_smile:
