firstchoiceu 2 / 4 Nov 25, 2010 #1"Therefore, it wasn't necessary for me to find my keys."This phrase sounds a little awkward. I wanted to use "necessary" in some way (maybe, I didn't necessarily need to find my keys) but every phrase I tried didn't sound right. Could someone help me revise it?

OP firstchoiceu 2 / 4 Nov 26, 2010 #4Awkward sentence using "Juncture"-Help revise?Sentence is: I am at the last juncture in my life when I can successfully adopt a new name.I am speaking figuratively, but I don't know how to use "juncture" without using "when" which makes it sound a clunky. Help?
diego1 2 / 9 Nov 26, 2010 #5I think it sounds fine, but you might be able to modify it to:In my life I am at the last juncture where I can successfully adopt a new namewhen sounds more sensible as you are talking about the time in your life, but I believe you could substitute where if it sounded better to you, speaking of the juncture as a place in time
EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Dec 8, 2010 #6"juncture" without using "when" which makes it sound a clunky.Yes.. it is bad to use juncture with when. Use juncture with where, because it is a place.Also, juncture refers to where things join. Is it really the best word to use?I face my final opportunity to change....maybe like that?:-)
