I have two sentences. Would you be so kind as to tell whether they are grammatically correct or not

  • These questions are really worth asking.
  • These questions aren’t really well worth the trouble asking.

Thanks

This one is correct in my book.

This one is too complicated and I think you can’t separate the adjective ‘worth’ from the gerund ‘asking’. Let’s see what @Alan and @Andrea think. Many thanks for everyone responding.

I would agree with @Torsten on both sentences.

1.These questions are really worth asking. :white_check_mark:

  1. You can rather say it more simply as:

These questions aren’t really worth asking. :white_check_mark:

Hope this helps :smile:

Thanks Torsten and Andrea. Yes, they do help. Because I was thinking the same, but if you read a text on the internet and you read a sentence like that, you start doubting yourself.

Thanks again. :slightly_smiling_face:

I wish you a Happy New Year too, my friend. :smiley: Judging by the fact that your three native languages are German, Dutch and French I take it you are Belgian?
