How correct is this sentence: "His parents did not approve of our dating because of our age difference, but we did anyway."

English Language & Usage Asked by Ruralguy on January 30, 2021

How correct is this sentence:
"His parents did not approve of our dating because of our age difference, but we did anyway."

If "did anyway" refers to "approve", how can one approve one’s own actions?

Would this sentence also sound right:

My sister hates swimming but I do every day.

One Answer

The sentences are runny and confusing so I would reword as this:

His parents didn't approve of the two of us dating because of the difference in our age. We are dating regardless.

The second sentence is also ambiguous so I wouldn't use it in that structure.

My sister hates swimming but I do not. I swim everyday.
