Is this sentence gramatically correct? - "If you feel tension & anxiety."?

Question

I recently read this sentence in an ad one of my counselling expert aquaintance wrote on his visiting card. However I think it is a gramatically incorrect sentence. Though I was not able to explain why it wasnt correct but i did suggest my friend that a better and a gramatically correct sentence will be - "If you are tensed & anxious" or "if you have a feeling of tension & anxiety". Can someone give me the reason why.

I recently read this sentence in an ad one of my counselling expert aquaintance wrote on his visiting card. The sentence goes this way " If you feel tension & anxiety, v can help you."
However I think it is a gramatically incorrect sentence. Though I was not able to explain why it wasnt correct but i did suggest my friend that a better and a gramatically correct sentence will be - "If you are tensed & anxious" or "if you have a feeling of tension & anxiety". The way he structured the sentence did not sound correct to me. Why should we add the word "feel" before tension & anxiety when these words themselves are feelings?Can someone give me the reason why.

Answer 1

I think I might know why it doesn't sound right to you. In this sentence, tension and anxiety are nouns. It doesn't make sense to 'feel' a noun.

Answer 2

It's a sentence fragment. The phrase as it appears in your question is an unfinished thought. However, if there were three periods after the word "anxiety," with the rest of the ad appearing beneath the phrase, it calls attention to the rest of the ad. For example:

"If you feel tension and anxiety..."

...and the rest of the add continues here.

The reader will keep reading to find out what the second half of the statement is. The statement is not grammatically correct unless you see the whole ad.

Answer 3

This sentence is gramatically correct,but the reason why you felt something wrong in there was bcoz while making such sentences,most of us use adjectives rather than nouns. For example,we say, "I am happy/sad" rather than saying "I feel happiness/sorrow". Both are correct and mean the same thing,but we are usually acquainted with the usage of the former sentence rather than the latter one.Hence,you felt the difference.

Answer 4

Actually, this sentence is not correct; it is a sentence fragment. A correct sentence will have a subject and a verb. While the word "feel" is a verb, it is not used in the proper context to be considered a verb for a complete sentence. "You" is the subject. In order for this to be a sentence more would have to be added to it. For example..."If you feel tension and anxiety call for a free massage today!" "You" is still the subject and the verb is "call". I hope this makes sense to you.

Answer 5

If you feel tension & anxiety is a subclause, so it is not a complete sentence. This statement should be punctuated with a comma and followed by its main clause. For example, "If you feel tension & anxiety, you should go for a walk in a park."

Answer 6

"If you feel tense and anxious..." would be my way of wording it, though the original format isn't bad. I think it's just a matter of flow and personal preference, not any specific gramatical error.

Answer 7

It's perfectly correct to say that one feels tension or that one feels anxiety.

It's more directly emotive than either of your other suggestions, too.

Answer 8

The sentence is correct already.

Answer 9

Gramatically it is correct but it feels incomplete.

Answer 10

usse tumne jaane ke liye kyun kaha? or you can say usse ko tum ne jaane ke liye kyun kaha? tum/tummne are familiar, in case u didnt know, like you would use them for someone younget than u or same age or your friend. the formal/more respectful version is aap/aapne which you would use if you wanted to talk to your parents, friends parents, someone older than you, teacher, or just out of respect. hope this helped!
