    Proper sentence ?
    Message from dietch posted on 14-09-2011 at 16:08:17 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    I am wondering if the following sentence is correct :
    "How can this not have been revealed way sooner?"
    I'm pretty sure it's OK, but you know... I'm learning.

    Thanks,
    All the best.

    Hello,

    Way ? Not very clear...
    Are you talking about a "way" which couldn't have been revealed sooner ?
    By the way, "not" seems not to be where it should be...
    I have doubts about "how", too...

    Hello

    Your sentence is a bit convoluted but I find no great fault with it. But it would be clearer and simpler to say:

    Why wasn't this revealed much sooner?

    Your use of "way" is fine, but informal and seems out of place in the context. Lien Internet
