Hi

Would you say the following sentence is correct and natural, especially the red part?

Quote:
He inherited his money from his father.

Many thanks,

Tom

PS: What is the opposite of inherit--I mean if a son inherits, what does the father do?

Hi,

Sentence is fine. Father leaves the son the money in his will, bequeaths the money to his son.
