I was about to ask a question in this site and I am confused how to ask that question. I wrote a part of that question that made me confused on how to ask.
This is a sentence which is a short version of a long one (1- that I re-wrote) (2-with no difference in the sentence structure) that I'm confused with.
Where should number "1" and "2" be in this sentence? Are they ok?
I think one of the biggest challenges with English is its flexibility. There are a couple of ways you could work that sentence. Here's one way:
You could also break it up:
To answer your question more directly, 1 and 2 are fine in the order they're in.
"Which" is an interesting word; usually it's used (as a determiner) when you're adding descriptive information about something: "This is my car, which has a 2.4l motor.", or "This cat, which is a tabby, eats a lot of cat food." If I were keeping your sentence a little more intact, I might write it like this:
One other thing: you have two independent clauses in your sentence (and I apologize; this can be a little confusing):
Usually in English you would have two sentences, one for each clause, or you'd join them with a conjunction:
The weird thing here is that this clause:
. . . doesn't really count as a clause, because it's being used to describe the noun "sentence". So we treat that as a big adjective.
Anyway, I hope that's helpful, at least a little bit.
I am not sure i completely know what you want, but here is my attempt.
"This is a sentence which is a short version of a long version that i re-wrote keeping the sentence structure the same as the short one, but found confused about."
