I want to change this: He has success and happiness #1 (permalink) Wed Apr 26, 2006 2:39 am   I want to change this: He has success and happiness		  
Hi,

I want to change this original sentence into another sentence which has two words given. I want them to have the same meaning.
Please look at how I have done.
He is successful and happy (original)
He has (the words given).........

My work:
1. He has success and happiness.
2. He has succeeded happily.

Thanks.

The first seems to be right!But the most possible is "He is successful and happy",of course.

I would say: 'He has happily succeeded'.

Remember that adverbs are usually placed before the main verb and after an auxiliary or modal verb.

Hi Cochinta,
Do they mean the same thing:
1. He is successful and happy.
2. He has happily succeeded.
Thanks.

Clever question, mlngvt!

No, these two sentences don't necessarily mean the same thing. He has happily succeeded can mean that he has succeeded in a lucky way, but he might still be unhappy, in spite of his success.

Thus our guest's first sentence would be more like it, since it means that he is both successful and happy. Yet I would say it like this: He has found success and happiness.

I should have made that clear in my earlier post. Thank you for your question!
