Is this grammatically correct? What does it mean? Any possible rephrasing? Mine was Samsung Duos. It was a gift from my uncle. Either because I got a distinction in my junior waec examination


The original sentences are mostly correct, but there's a slight issue with clarity in the second sentence. It would be better to clarify what "either" refers to, and you could improve the flow of the sentences. Here’s a corrected version and a rephrased version: **Corrected Version:** "Mine was a Samsung Duos. It was a gift from my uncle, perhaps because I achieved a distinction in my junior WAEC examination." **Rephrased Version:** "I had a Samsung Duos, which my uncle gifted me, possibly due to my distinction in the junior WAEC examination." **Meaning:** The speaker is saying that they owned a Samsung Duos phone that their uncle gave them. The gift was likely given as a reward for the speaker achieving a distinction—meaning a high score or recognition—on their junior WAEC examination, which is a standardized test in West Africa. Update (2025-05-23): Yes, the sentence is grammatically correct. It means that the speaker received a Samsung Duos phone as a gift from their uncle in recognition of achieving a distinction in their junior WAEC examination. WAEC refers to the West African Examinations Council, which conducts examinations in several West African countries. Here is a possible rephrasing: "I received a Samsung Duos as a gift from my uncle for achieving a distinction in my junior WAEC examination."
