Hello
Is the following sentence O.K?
The car is mated with 5 and 6 speed manual and 4 speed automatic transmission gearboxes with the latter being introduced to the Britain’s market.
Many thanks
No, and neither is the suggested improvement.
The car has the options of 5 or 6 speed manual transmission and 4 speed automatic transmission, with the latter being introduced to the British (definitely not “Britain’s”) market.
[color=blue]1) Although you may prefer ‘British market’, “Britain’s market” is not grammatically wrong.
[color=blue]2) ‘5 [color=blue]or [color=blue]6’ speed…’ certainly is better. Sorry, I wasn’t careful enough about that. (even though I have never heard of a single car having two transmissions)
First thank you Canadian45 and Beeesneees for your help.
(even though I have never heard of a single car having two transmissions)
Second, Canadian45! You are right.I would correct my sentence by replacing and with or.
A single car does not have two transmissions as you well know.
‘Britain’s market’ may not be grammatically wrong, but people in Britain would find it extremely odd.
