Hello! How is it going? Thanks in advance!

1.- He enjoys having HIS DOG trapped inside.

2.- He enjoys having trapped HIS DOG inside.

My question:

Where Should I place “His dog”?
Can it be in either of these two positions?

Thanks indeed!

Jes?s

What kind of stories are you reading/writing, Jes?s :lol: ? All these poor animals being trapped and sadists having a great time of it sound a bit weird!

In your sentences, the word order can change the meaning:

1.- He enjoys having HIS DOG trapped inside. His dog is trapped, but we don’t know who did it.*

2.- He enjoys having trapped HIS DOG inside. This means that he’s trapped his dog, but we don’t know if the dog is still trapped.

  • N? 1 can also refer to a repeated action: every time this happens, he enjoys it.
