Hi everybody,
I'm struggling to understand if this sentence is correct. I know it's rather heavy and quite Early-Modern-English-sounding, but I'd like to know if - at least on a theoretical level - all the parts of the sentence are in the right place.
Tell me why doesn't a man who knows he's going to die become a deserter
Would it be also possible to say:
Tell me why a man who knows he's going to die doesn't/wouldn't (?) become a deserter
Or:
Tell me why a man wouldn't become a deserter who knows he's going to die
I have to point out these are not questions, but statements (no question mark). f you have any suggestions on how it could be improved, I'm all ears!
As always, thanks in advance!
