he sometimes uses when necessary Terence check

[WeAreVietnamese]

could everyone tell me if you had heard( or seen) this sentence before : Before calling the taxis station he somtimes uses when necessary Terence check to make sure his car battery was truly dead
From my perspective i think that Terence check is an object. But the question is: How can when neccessary can stand between vern and object??
I know english is very flexible and fluid and my question is totally stupid. But i still think that it is very weird

Where did you find this?

You might need to clear up the text, I can’t read it well.

[MrMuselk]

Actually, I got it. Terence (a person, not an object) had to check if his car battery was dead. If his car battery was dead (didn’t work), he had to call a taxi station so as to be able to use transport, because his car couldn’t work without the battery.

Just on the column of my favourite journal

Don't you think the journalists miss out the period ?) LOL

Welcome to the forums, WeAreVietnamese!

It's a poorly-written sentence, I'm afraid: there are lots of mistakes in it. What is the name of your

favourite journal

?

 

[MrMuselk]

But in what journal did you find that?

 

[WeAreVietnamese]

Scientific journal

 

[Hermione Golightly]

The person 'Terence' is the subject of the main clause. I would place a comma after the participle opening phrase - 'Before calling a taxi , ...'.

Scientific journal

We are asking for the name of the journal. When you ask about something the someone else wrote, you should give the name of the place where you saw it (Rule 4)).

actually it will be critized and received bad affect if i told you its name

Actually, assuming that this is your source: 250 câu HỢP NGHĨA, the original sentence was
Before calling the taxi station he sometimes uses when necessary _____,
_____Terence checked to make sure his car battery was truly dead.

So
- the original sentence was OK
- the errors were caused by mistakes in copying.
