Spontaneously, I liked the third sentence best, then I read your comment...

Topic: Please, check the improved sentenses, the order of words Posted: Wednesday, July 24, 2019 7:32:18 AM
The word order "with a cord around their necks" seems okay to me. But the version in which "the cord" appears second does not really make a big difference, if at all. Instead of "began" - especially since it it used two times, I would rather use "started". Or change completely into sth.like: ... which in consequence meant that his friend was dragged behind him... But this is just personal taste. Hope I could help a little. Chris62

Topic: No article or the 'a' article Posted: Monday, July 8, 2019 5:34:07 AM
Hello, no indefinite article should be used here. "... kind of miracle" My favourite source to look such things up ist the Oxford Learner's Dictionary (OLD). Follow the link and see under + Grammar Point. https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/kind_1#kind_idmg_3 Chris

I'd like to add that dangling prepositions will rather be found in written language than in spoken English.
Topic: some stories from Posted: Thursday, July 4, 2019 2:53:47 AM
The question was if these two sentences grammatically correct. a. I found this book I think you will like some citations from. I am writing them down for you. b. I found this collection of short stories I am sure he will appreciate some stories from. I am sending the book to him. I believe they are.

As far as palapaguy's answer is concerned: Usage is often different from grammatical correctness. Remember the McDonald's slogan: "I'm loving it". Grammatically, this ought to be wrong.
