Sentence sequence (PQRS) — Compose the narrative: I don’t remember the exact date, but when I left Lucknow in 1984 I saw a man dying in front of a hospital, hit apparently by a fast-moving car (logic and cohesion shown).

Given data

• P: ‘‘I saw a man dying in front of a hospital’’
• Q: ‘‘but when I left lucknow in 1984’’
• R: ‘‘hit apparently by a fast moving car’’
• S: ‘‘the exact date’’

ApproachComplete the object of ‘‘remember’’ first (S). Then join the contrastive time clause (Q), add the main event (P), and finally the participial detail (R).

ConstructionS → Q → P → RFull sentence: ‘‘I don’t remember the exact date, but when I left Lucknow in 1984 I saw a man dying in front of a hospital, hit apparently by a fast-moving car.’’

ChecksComma placement after the long clause keeps readability; ‘‘hit …’’ clearly modifies ‘‘a man’’.
