Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2007Is right: "I wanted to write" ?
Good afternoon to everyone It's right to say: I wanted to write.... Thank you > Good afternoon to everyone > > It's right to say: I wanted to write.... > > Thank you Maybe yes; maybe no. What is the context? Without that information no-one can answer your question. I have written "conseguence" instead of consequence, so a guy asked me: what do you mean with conseGuence? I have answered: I wanted to write consequence, not conseguence. It's right? Thank you > I have written "conseguence" instead of consequence, so a guy asked > me: what do you mean with conseGuence? > > I have answered: I wanted to write consequence, not conseguence. > > It's right? It's right. You could put the two words you are quoting into quotation marks to make it even better: I wanted to write "consequence", not "conseguence". > > I have written "conseguence" instead of consequence, so a guy asked > > me: what do you mean with conseGuence? > > > I have answered: I wanted to write consequence, not conseguence. > > > It's right? > It's right.

Better still, I meant to write "consequence", not "conseguence". Christian Cervetti: > It's right to say: I wanted to write.... It's normally wrong to say "it's right to say" when you mean to ask a question. You should say "Is it right to say", and finish the sentence with a question mark (?).
