Which is correct?

Question

One: Today last year, some subways of London were bombed by terrorists.
Two: Today last year, some subways in London were bombed by terrorists.

Answer 1

Today can't be last year.

Today is the present, last year is the past.

It should be: A year ago today, some London subways were bombed by terrorists.

Or better yet: Exactly one year ago, terrorists bombed some London subways.

Answer 2

Today last year, some subways in London were bombed by terrorists.

However, a better way would be:

A year ago, today, terrorists bombed some London subways.

Answer 3

Actually, I think "A year ago today, some subways in London were bombed by terrorists" sounds better, except now it's July 8 where I am.

Answer 4

Two: Today last year, some subways in London were bombed by terrorists.

Answer 5

1

Answer 6

Better would be:
A year ago today, some London subways were bombed by terrorists.

However, if you want to keep your original format, subways IN London would be the better of the two

Answer 7

No 2.....is right...but you could construct the sentence better."Last year, on this date some subways in london were bombed by terrorist.

Answer 8

Ever hear about a oxymoron?

"today" and "last year" are dis-similar in context and cannot co-exist.
Like this thing I remember hearing a moron say once when he asked me to give him "the minimum most" rate for something!?

So, if you were to take away the oxymoron there, then "Some subways of London were bombed by terrorists; a year ago." would be correct.

Cheers.

Answer 9

Neither. You could say "This is the one year anniversay that some London subways were bombed by terrorists".

Answer 10

They're both correct in terms of grammar. 'subways of London' sounds more at home in a story, while subways in London' sounds more like a newspaper article. But the sentence could be better worded alltogether.
