Which is grammatically correct?

Roy regarding this contacted you.

or

You were contacted by Roy regarding this.

Roy regarding this contacted you.

Re: Grammar question
 

First one sounds stupid, so I presume that's the correct one!

Re: Grammar question
 

Should the first one have any commas? It sounds very weird to me.

Re: Grammar question
 

May sound stupid but its correct. Even M/S Word agreed!!


i must admit i'd tend to use "Roy contacted you regarding this"

cheat :pp

Re: Grammar question
 

I think the first one would be correct if it had commas in it.

Re: Grammar question
 

What about "Regarding this, Roy contacted you."? :confused:

*EDIT* or "Roy contacted you regarding this."

Re: Grammar question
 

The first one is correct but badly punctuated. It is a more Germanic form, but not 'wrong' for that. I voted for option two because the first one is wrong due to lack of commas.

Re: Grammar question
 

I *think* they are both okay, given the correct punctuation.

Re: Grammar question
 

Roy rang, call him back .... :D ;)

Re: Grammar question
 

Neither.

The first one should be punctuated as "Roy, regarding this, contacted you".

The second should be punctuated as "You were contacted by Roy, regarding this", although it's more informal.

Personally I feel this forum could do with some more grammar tests on a regular basis..... :D

Re: Grammar question
 

Or try:

"Personally, I feel this forum could do with more regular grammar tests."

;)

Death to excess verbiage!
