Dear teachers,
Would you please tell me if the English is correct here?
a) Both books/Both the books (?) /Both of the books you lent me are interesting.
b) Both books you lent me I found interesting? (correct or clumsy?)
“the object has been topicalized” what’s the meaning of “topicalized”?
c) I found both books you lent me to be interesting.
(do we normally insert the "to be" if the descriptive word does not immediately follow the noun it describes)
d) I found both books you lent me interesting.
e) Neither you nor your boyfriend wantsto see the relationship evolve.(is the word "evolve" appropriate here?)
Many thanks,
Hela
