Hi guys!
I would like to know if these sentence I wrote makes sense to you?
"In my opinion, the several arrests of politicians, bankers, and entrepreneurs are little signals that important changes have been coming to stay".
I am not sure if the part 'have been coming to stay' is correct or if it makes sense to a native speaker.
Many thanks in advance :)
Cheers,
Karine.
Nearly, but not quite! Your sentence sounds like the 'changes' themselves aren't here yet, but are on their way. As a result, you should write it like this (as in future tense):
"In my opinion, the several arrests of politicians, bankers, and entrepreneurs are little signals that important changes are coming to stay".
The meaning is obvious to a native speaker of English regardless, but 'are coming to stay' is grammatically correct in this case.
