I have a question about this sentence
Hello
I have a question about the following sentence
Beginning in the 1800s, workers began to organize themselves
to fight for better working conditions.
Is this correct grammatically?
If so, what is omitted in "beginning in the 1800s"?
when it began in the 1800s? or at the beginning in the 1800s?
Thank you for your advice

Question

Answer

The phrase is fine as it is. It means 'From the 1800s onwards,..'

Answer

It is correct. There is nothing to omit from it

Answer

It is correct.  I often write "in order to" instead of just "to" because "to" has so many different meanings.  "in order to" is a little bit more formal. But "to" on its own is fine.

Nothing is omitted in the phrase "beginning in the 1800s".  It's an acceptable construction for a subordinate clause.  You could say it this way : "In the 1800s, workers began to organise themselves..."
