A. It depends on the context, but I would agree hat 'of' is more likely.
b. The 'to' is assumed because you have already used it. Either way is fine.
C. 'Constraint' is correct. I doubt that 'controlling ' is the meaning here, because I would them expect the sentence to read 'Your constraints on me are...'. I think that 'constraint' here refers to that person's constraint of themselves. constraint = Stiffness of manner and inhibition in a person's relationship with someone else.
D. 'find out' is correct. Does it become clearer in this context? How can we find out where you live? 'find out' is a set phrase.
E. It's all a matter of style and preference.
F. This certainly sounds odd, though it;'s difficult to say for sure without context.
E/G. That should peobably be 'Usually people don't want to feel constrained. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
