| Sep 18, 2014 at 15:31 | comment | added | bart-leby | Thank you for your patience with me. Just let me pose the last question: Is this sentence grammaticaly OK? Actor X. Y., since whose death have elapsed ten years, was known for his great performance in the movie A. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 15:20 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Well, I gave you a number of phrases which can be used to create complete sentences, while also expressing the period of time since the death of the actor. None of them appear to suit your need, and to diagnose that, I need more information. I think the most useful information would be the actual, specific, complete sentence you're trying to create, so that I can plug in my previous suggestions and see why you feel they may not work, and use that feedback to find one which would. Otherwise, the previous suggestions, which you don't like, are all I can offer. | |

| Sep 18, 2014 at 15:14 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Can you fill in the ...s for me? I would like to see the complete sentence, to find the best matching clause. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 15:13 | comment | added | bart-leby | Actor X. Y. died ten years ago. So it has elapsed ten years since his death. I would like to make the relative sentence: Yes I can say Actor X. Y. whose death came 10 years ago… But is possible this sentence: Actor X. Y., from whose death elapsed 10 years, (…), or An actor X. Y., since whom death has elapsed ten years, (…). | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 15:12 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Hmm, maybe you're looking for "Since the death of Actor X, ten years have passed"? | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 14:59 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Show me the complete sentence you're trying to construct. Are you looking for "Actor X, who died 10 years ago, was a great man...", or "Actor X, whose death ten years ago came as a shock to many", etc? | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 14:58 | comment | added | bart-leby | Yes, but I would like to create the relative clause. Actor, since whom/whose death… I am not sure what kind of structure to use. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 14:54 | comment | added | Dan Bron | "Actor X died 10 years ago", "Since the death of actor X ten years ago, ...", etc. | |
