Hello!
I have to complete the 2nd sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence:
Your second attempt would not work. You need to include the person being accused as you have in your original attempt.
‘Jenny accused that Ann had broken the vase.’ should also be acceptable though the first is preferable.
Sorry Lawrence but this is totally unacceptable.
Anglophile, perhaps you are thinking of this, which is a possibility:
Jenny made an accusation that Ann had broken the vase.
Alan, does it mean that the verb ‘accuse’ should be used with the preposition ‘of’ and the gerund as we have been using?
I thought that sentence would also be acceptable in view of
I meant the sentence had to be written as it had been previously, so I’m sorry if that confused you. Perhaps you cannot read minds after all.
I’m waiting for Alan’s response to my query.
No surprises there.
Envy is a sin. Avoid it. No surprise you won’t. I do rely more on Alan.
Sorry to disappoint you. I’m not envious.
I find it quite amusing.
