being rich

Post by navit »

Are these sentences correct:

1) A score being in number, it can be written in numerical form.
2) Time being of value, it shouldn't be wasted.
3) John having a lot of money, he can buy that house.
4) John being rich, he can buy that house.

Gratefully,
Navi

1)-->A score being a number, it can be written in numerical form.

2) Time being of value, it shouldn't be wasted.
OK

3) John having a lot of money, he can buy that house.
Grammatical but unnatural: --> With John....

4) John being rich, he can buy that house.
OK.
