Help with English
Hi, there

Do you use "have" in the following way?

"Incredibly enough, you can go to the DMV and have it be tolerable ".... "It is good to know you can talk to your teacher in a informal way and still have your relationship with him be a respectful one"

Is it odd?

Thank you

Hi, there

Do you use "have" in the following way?

"Incredibly enough, you can go to the DMV and have it be tolerable ".... "It is good to know you can talk to your teacher in a informal way and still have your relationship with him be a  respectful one"

Is it odd?

Thank you

Answer

In the first  it sounds odd because it should read "Incredibly enough, you can go to the DMV and it can be tolerable " or even bearable.

The second phrase should read:   "It is good to know THAT you can talk to your teacher in a informal way and your relationship with him will still  be a respectable one"

Answer

No, that does not sound odd to me.
