Can you help me fix this sentence, i can't word it correctly
This era was struck with poverty, ...etc
How can i write that there was poverty in this era..
There's poverty in every era. Please be more specific.
This era was struck with poverty, living in huts supplied by the lord with low income.
Struck with poverty <-does that sound wrong?
Those are both wrong.
"Struck with poverty" is not correct. In addition you have a classic misplaced modifier. Certainly the lord didn't have a low income! Also the era didn't live in huts.
How about?
The majority of people lived in poverty.
Oh ok i understand where i went wrong.
Thank you
You're welcome.
Certainly! To rephrase the sentence to indicate the existence of poverty in a specific era, you can consider the following:
"In this era, poverty struck the population, leaving a significant impact."
Here's how you can break down and reword the sentence:
1. Start the sentence with a phrase that indicates the time frame: "In this era..."
2. Next, you can use the verb "struck" to emphasize the sudden or severe impact of poverty.
3. Follow it up by mentioning "the population" or any specific group affected by poverty.
4. Finally, add a concluding phrase to highlight the consequences or effects of poverty, such as "leaving a significant impact."
Remember, there are various ways to express this idea, so feel free to adjust the sentence according to the context and desired tone.
