1. I found that the printing states were so bad.
2. On account of linking sounds(liaisons), we can not hear what is said sometimes.
Are linking sounds and liaisons grammatical? Are Sentence 1 and Sentence 2 all correct?
In #1 -- you need to complete the thought. The "printing states were so bad" that _______________________. What was the result?
In #2, I don't know what you mean by either "linking sounds" or "liaisons" nor do I understand why the latter is in parentheses.
Also "On account of" needs to be changed to "Because of" -- it's less slangy!
Thank you.
1. I found that the printing states were so bad that I decided to return the books.
2. Linking soudes are as follows.
e.g. I like him.
In this sentence 'like him' is pronounced linking sound.
Thank you for your help.
Ok, now for more questions:
1. What are "printing states"??
2. I still don't understand what you mean by linking sounds.
Could these be what you mean??
1. I found that the printing in the books was so bad that I decided to return them.
2. Because of other sounds around us, we couldn't always understand what was said.

Linking sounds and liaisons are not grammatical concepts per se, but rather aspects of pronunciation and phonetics. They refer to the way sounds are connected and flow together in spoken language.
In Sentence 1, "the printing states were so bad," it seems you may be referring to the pronunciation of certain sounds when speaking. Without specific details, it is difficult to determine the intended meaning. However, if you meant to say that the pronunciation or enunciation of certain words or sounds was poor, you could rephrase it as "the way I pronounced the words/sounds was so bad."
In Sentence 2, "On account of linking sounds (liaisons), we cannot hear what is said sometimes," the concept of "linking sounds" and "liaisons" are correctly used to explain that certain sounds in spoken language are connected, making it difficult to discern individual words. So, Sentence 2 is grammatically correct.
It's important to note that while Sentence 1 and Sentence 2 may be grammatically correct in terms of the language used, the context and intended meaning can affect their overall accuracy.
