I need help wording a sentence. I don't know what to put in the blank to make it a good sentence and make sure it doesn't change the sentence too much. What should I put there to make it a complete sentence?
"As time went on __________ Lieta being separated from her sister, she began go grow sickly thin and pale."
I accidently put go there. It's supposed to be "to" not "go".
Maybe this?
"While Lieta was separated from her sister, she began to grow sickly thin and pale."
That works. Thank you Writeacher!
You're welcome!
To make the sentence complete and coherent while not altering its meaning significantly, you can consider using the phrase "due to" in the blank. Here's the revised sentence: "As time went on, due to Lieta being separated from her sister, she began to grow sickly thin and pale."
Using "due to" clarifies the cause-and-effect relationship between Lieta's separation from her sister and her subsequent decline in health, without significantly changing the original sentence structure.
