Beeesneees,
‘The baby sucks (milk) on her mother before sleeping.’
If this sentence is incorrect, please correct it.
‘He bought and sucked a piece of candy.’
If it is not natural, please rephrase the sentence.
Thanks.
Sorry, I didn’t realize this was to Beeesneees, I thought it was my sucks/sucks on/sucks at post.
No need to apologise. I’m sure Allifathima won’t mind, and I certainly don’t.
In fact, the suggestion has been made a number of times that Allifathima stops making reference to single people for answers on the public forum.
Regarding, “he bought and sucked a piece of candy” although it is grammatical, do you really imagine it being used, Luschen?
“He bought a piece of candy which he then sucked on for hours.” seems a much more natural usage.
Yes, you are right. As it stands it does not sound like a natural thing to say. I can imagine something like : “He bought a roll of mints and sucked one of the candies as he thought about how he was going to get rid of the dead body in the trunk of his car.” {Sorry, I tend to get a little too creative 
}
LOL! Maybe we should call you Mickey Spillane!
Luschen,
“The mother suckles her baby.”
Is this sentence OK?
Thanks.
Yes, that sounds fine.
