BW2/3  +  238282 Tue, 20 Jun 06 09:31 PM How lonely he was after he lied to the police that he was not a driver for the blood accident and his wife, with guilty consciousness, left him after she supported his statement? Is this sentence OK? Thank you BW2/3 Joined on Sat, Oct 22 2005 Contributing Member 1,283 Carpe diem!!

	Mister Micawber  +  239034 Thu, 22 Jun 06 03:28 PM No.  Please try again.  Fix these: a driver for the blood accident consciousness Mister Micawber Joined on Wed, Aug 4 2004 Yokohama Veteran Member 30,780 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'

	Believer  +  239049 Thu, 22 Jun 06 04:27 PM How about this? How lonely would he have felt after lying to police about him not being a driver for the bloody accident and seeing his wife leaving him after testifying on his behalf with a guilty conscience.   Any effort to modify mine would be welcomed.  Believer Joined on Mon, Jan 2 2006 Contributing Member 1,969

	davkett  +  239064 Thu, 22 Jun 06 05:20 PM There's a lot of thoughts to tie up into one sentence, but here's one possibility: How lonely he felt, after his wife-- who, because of her guilty conscience over testifying in support of the lie he told the police about his not being the driver in the bloody accident--left him. Let's see how others might handle it.  I assumed the restriction of doing it in a single sentence. davkett Joined on Tue, Jun 7 2005 Pennsylvania, USA Senior Member 2,788 "The rose stays fresh in its name..." -Bernard of Morlay

	BW2/3  +  239163 Thu, 22 Jun 06 11:28 PM Let me try again. How lonely he was after he lied to the police that he was not a driver in the bloody accident and his wife, with guilty conscience, left him after she supported his statement? Thank you all! BW2/3

	davkett  +  239167 Thu, 22 Jun 06 11:45 PM That's better, BW. But don't you want to connect his being lonely with the fact that his wife left him, not with the fact that he lied to the police? As I said before, this is really too much information to pack into one sentence.  Is it necessary to do so? davkett

	BW2/3  +  239186 Fri, 23 Jun 06 02:53 AM hi davkett, How lonely he was after he lied to the police that he was not a driver in the bloody accident and after his wife, with guilty conscience, left him after she had supported his statement? His loneliness began after he lied to the police and after his wife left him. I agree it is a lot of information to put into a sentence but it is fun to play with words, especially ( at least I hope I am able to) follow the grammar rules. BW2/3 Grammar
