Afraid without to be #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 27, 2004 11:07 am   Afraid without to be		  
Hello everybody!!! Today I saw very strange sentence.
AFRAID, I turned and ran back to the door.
I know that the word AFRAID must be using with TO BE( am , is , were). Is Using AFRAID in this sentence correct? I couldn't find out it. Sad
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Ariadna,

Your sentence is correct, it's a shortened version of 'Being afraid, I turned and ran back ...' or 'I was afraid and ran back ...'

Can I write the shortened version doing an exam work?
