Hi Kimlong,
I haven't found what is wrong yet, but I think "meet" must be changed to "met" in your sentence.
Your freind

I think the problem is with "while coming". It's a confusing piece of information because you don't know if "I" or "Mr. Vutha".
I think it's okay to say "I met a Mr. Vutha....".

Hi Greeny,
For me, I think "while coming" is OK cause we have the possessive pronoun "my" to refer to "I" who was coming.
Of course "a Mr. Vutha" is OK.
Just my idea

Hey Jupi, I think it is confusing because it could be that Mr. Vutha went to see me at work place, but I wasn't there. And when I was coming back to my work place, I saw him coming from my work place. Also, I'm sure that this kind of mistake is called "Dangling Modifier". - I saw a small child climbing the stairs with two big teeth. - I saw a small child with two big teeth climbing the stairs. In this case the first senctence is wrong. Correct me. I want your feedback. |

It's kinda reduced and inverted sentence, mate!! So good did I meet a Mr. Vutha by chance last night, while coming from my work place! Kimlong, it's only my guess because you mentioned 'it's a reduced and inverted sentence. Only a try. |

Kimlong, it's only my guess because you mentioned 'it's a reduced and inverted sentence. Only a try. Hit the nail on the head Nila, It is absolutely the correct sentence! The sentence should be written " So good did I meet a Mr.Vutha by chance last night, while coming from my work place". |
