Can someone correct my english?

[Katymac]

This list of events and occurrences are not necessarily chronological, neither are they necessarily accurate.

I don't think I should use necessarily twice - but I'm so confused I don't know what to do

Sorry i need the sentance I wrote first, rewritten

"This list of events and occurrences may not be chronological"

if they're not accurate why are you listing them???

well it should be "this list...is not...neither is it..."

it's not the most elegant sentence, but isn't wrong really. It has to be a bit clumsy in order to say it clearly.

'nor' are they..

This list of events and occurrences are neither chronological nor accurate.

Do you really need "necessarily"?

So how do I write I might have got it wrong
This is the para

"This list of events and occurrences may not be chronological, neither are they necessarily accurate. I have depended on my memory, that of my husband and that of my parents. Memory is always coloured by subsequent events and cannot be relied upon. Please bear this in mind and remember its fallibility whilst reading."

is not are

tinker - it IS neither chronolgical or accurate!!

Guys don't argue - I don't have time...and my DD's future depends upon it

that looks fine to me, except I'd replace "neither" with "nor"

Beat you

km - I think I would just write "This list has been compiled from memory..." and omit the first sentence altogether.

Here is a list, dates to be confirmed.
Howzat!

if you're referring to a list of events, then it should say "neither (or nor) is it" rather than "are they"

Yes, write in bullet points instead.

How about: I cannot guarentee that this list of events and occurrences is necessarily strictly chronological or completely accurate. I have depended .....

Wow what speed and interest about a grammer/sentance construction/spelling problem

Shows that we M/Netters really know what's important!!

Sorry ment to say Thank You

This list of events and occurrences are not necessarily chronological, neither are they entirely accurate

i would say works best..

what are you writing..just to be nosy?

A list of events to (prove/disprove?) that DD has been bullied over a long time

Is it a letter to school..if so I would suggest changing the tone....

'I have compiled a list of events which demonstrates that dd has been bullied over a long period' ??

Not really my family support worker has just asked me to list what has happended I thought there might be as many as 6 events - when I started there are over 12, it's shocking

We are having a meeting with the head and the family support worker to "sort it out" my formal letter of comlaint is somewhere else on MN - this is just a top up
