usage of "deny" #1 (permalink) Wed May 14, 2008 7:39 am   usage of "deny"		  
Hi,

Could you tell me if the two sentences below is grammatical, please?
Quote:
He is locked up and the warden is denying him a visit from his relatives
He is locked up and the warden is denying him the visit from his relatives


Also, would it be more natural to use "a" in those sentences
Thanks.

Both are fine. 'A' might be more common, but is no more natural-- it depends on the context.
