I'm having some trouble understanding the incomplete sentence. I have heard this type of construction many times, but it always confuses me. What's the other half?    New2grammar

	New2grammar  #545454  Wed, 23 Jul 08 02:15 PM After thinking about it for 5 full minutes, I think you're saying the meaning of in a sense is "if .." which is why you put the bullet, am I right?    New2grammar

	Grammar Geek  #545553  Wed, 23 Jul 08 05:56 PM N2G, I can't see the <> you are referring to. No, as MH said "in a sense" means "if you look at from a particular perspective."      Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (15,583) Barbara, who answers in American English.
