Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Is the following sentence OK?

I was running very fast after I had seen the huge dog.

King Reza: I personally would have said "I ran very fast after I saw the huge dog", but I imagine technically your sentence is fine.

Honestly though, I forget all those rules I learned in Junior High English with diagramming sentences. I know some were pretty strict.

Otsikko: Re:
rod03801: Suppose you're saying that sentence as if you're telling a personal story for someone:

"One day, as I was walking in the forest, I saw a really big dog. After some minutes it ran towards me and I started to run away. Usually, I am not a fast runner. But, I was running very fast after I had seen that huge dog. ..."

Do you think it sounds OK in this context?

And thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

In general :
I was running very fast after seeing the dog
is enough.
But if you have already known the dog or if the dog has bad reputation for attacking someone. On that case, your original sentense makes sense to me.
