Is this sentence correct? I read the book again and I think I understand what...

[Gaoshan]

I read the book again and I think I understand what the problem is now.

[Gaoshan]

Good. I was not sure where to put the 'is'. Thanks for the timely reply!

[Charles001]

No its in correct , it is suppose to be : I rode the book again & now i seem to understand what the problem is.

[Gaoshan]

Well, I guess this is more like what native speakers would say. but, is the 'rode' a typo?

[Torsten]

[Gaoshan]

Thanks Torsten. And do you think my sentence is grammatically correct while this corrected one is more natural?

[Alan]

Hi Gaoshan,

Torsten has corrected the sentence and that's that. I can't see what spelling errors has got to do with sounding 'more natural'!

Thanks, Alan!

Why the word "now" , must be at the end ?
and is it "now" a word or a verb or a noun or what ?

when you read something again ,Read does not turn to be – Read – Read – rode ?

[Gaoshan]

Probably this is more correct: ride - rode -ridden and read -read -read.
I can ride a bicycle, but I can't ride a book...

As Torsten said, 'now' can be either in the middle or at the end.

[Gorpub]

no the sentence is not correct because it is incomplete. lol Gg<33

[Gaoshan]

Yes.
