Good morning Daemon, " coming towards me/coming from opposite side fit in this context? "
" He was coming towards me, " is sufficient. ( From the opposite direction is obvious from the sentence you have quoted. )

Thanks a lot, Bill!
Is the paragraph grammatically correct? Is there a difference between coming towards me and coming from opposite side? Which one suits better in this context? (remember that he was trying to avoid me) _________________ Non-native speaker of English

Deamon, stop confusing an old person. :) :)
OK, coming TOWARD you is approaching on the same pavement.
On the opposite side, would mean of the other side of the road, but still walking in your general direction.
If he can see you, ( and thus avoid you ), then he must be coming toward you no matter which side of the road he is on. _________________ Keep it simple ... Keep it interesting. |
