Feeling something amiss, she checked the other two accounts as well.

Shouldn’t it be be “Feeling
something was amiss” instead?

Thanks.

No, @Kohyoongliat. It is correct, and the change you suggested is not necessary since the meaning is clear. Further, the change will make the phrase a clause!

  • She felt (found) something incorrect (mistaken) because there was something amiss.
