English Language & Usage Asked by Austin Beer on December 3, 2020
Which of these three options is correct and why? I’ve included my best guess as to why each one could be considered correct.
I realize that the word order could be changed to:
He decided that he was going to go for a run despite the impending thunderstorm.
However, my question assumes that the word order needs to remain unchanged.
Here are a couple of similar questions, but none of their answers satisfactorily answer my question.
Use 1 or 3. Why? Since they mean exactly the same thing, both are correct, and neither is confusing.
Number 2 is wrong. Why? Because it's inconsistent: It brackets one end of the phrase with a comma but not the other. And that is confusing.
