Is this sentence gramatically correct ?

Question

Okay my english10 teacher gave us an assignment to write to our owner if we were a shoe. So, is this sentence correct ?

I was invented to be worn only in the summer, but you have worn my everyday for the past three years.

Microsoft Word says that "I was invented to be worn" is incorrect.

Okay im sorry "my" needs to be changed to "me". But that is not where Micro says the problem is occuring. (passive voice) I suppose its correct anyway then....?

Answer 1

I was only meant to be worn in the summer, but you have worn me every day for the past three years.

Every day should be two words.

Invention (idea/creation) and intention (meaning) are not the same thing.

Answer 3

It is correct, grammatically, but 'invented to be worn' does sound a bit odd. Sometimes Microsoft doesn't like the wording of things and underlines in green, even in quite ordinary sentences. I don't know why that is.

However, in your sentence, instead of 'invented' you might like to consider 'created' or 'meant' or 'designed'. Then see if Microsoft likes it.

Answer 4

No, I don't think Word was correct in that. At first look, I thought it was wrong too, but once I finished reading the rest of the sentence, it was right. The only incorrectness I see is before "everyday." It should be "me."

Answer 5

I was invented to be worn only in the summer; but, you have worn me everyday for the past three years.

Two thoughts should be separated by a semicolon -- the "but" is the perfect sequway into the second related sentence. The two "thoughts" could have been sentences if each was read alone.

Answer 6

First, I think you mean "you have worn ME" .... Since "I" usually donates a person, it doesn't fit in with "was invented to be worn" because people are not invented to be worn. Don't go by Microsoft, it knows nothing of poetic license, etc.

Other than my first suggestion, I see nothing wrong with it.

Answer 7

No, it is not correct as is. A better way to phrase it would be, "Your dreams will be crushed by hard, cold reality, leaving you with nothing but a lifetime of misery and regret."

Answer 8

I think it should be: I was invented to be worn only in the summer, but you have worn ME everyday for the past three years.

Answer 9

I don't know about the first part but it should be 'you have worn me everyday'

Answer 10

"I was invented to be worn" is correct but you need to fix "my" and "everyday" to "me" and "every day". MS Word uses something of a matrix to substitute for intelligence and often gets its grammar wrong.
