Haha haâŚIn fact, I need to understand first what are you saying, sir?
? Walked and rocked after his head was cut off.
Hi Mona,
Yes, it does sound odd, doesnât it? Grammatically it should be âafter his head had been cut offâ but that makes no sense. You therefore have to say - Afterwards his head was cut off. In other words you use the adverb and not the conjunction. Does that make sense now?
Hello, sir. Thank you very much for your reply. at first I hesitated about âcut offâ, then I used google browser navigation to be sure, but I still do not understand the whole sentence. Could you explain what you said, please?
Best regards
Hi Mona,
You are a keen girl and I am very pleased that you continue to support our site. âCut off the headâ is to execute somebody. King Charles 1 was executed and for a time England was a republic. This statement about him is a joke because if his head had been cut off, clearly he couldnât talk. The use of âafterâ is wrong because that it was the sentence suggests. What you need is the adverb âafterwardsâ which means âlaterâ and that would make sense because in that case it means - He walked and talked and then later his head was cut off. Is that better?
