Most seen OR Most heard: He is the most seen teacher in... #1 (permalink) Tue May 23, 2006 19:32 pm   Most seen OR Most heard: He is the most seen teacher in...
 

Hi everybody

Kindly look at these sentences:

1- He is the most seen teacher in the school.
2- He is the most heard teacher in the school.

(With the meaning that one would see/ hear that teacher most in the school)

Are the expressions correct? Should I start using them in my English?

Hi Erum

Both of your sentences sound awkward.

And I have a question:
Why do you want to say: "He is the most heard teacher in the school." ? This is a strange sentence for me. Do you simply want to say that this teacher is loud or makes a lot of noise?

As to your first sentence, here is a different way to say it:
He is the teacher (who is) most often seen in the school.
