18 mins confidence:
| from the group of x there emerged y from the group of x emerged y Explanation: Sounds fine to me without "there". I think if you use "there emerged y" you have to stop the sentence at that point. If you want to continue, omit "there". "emerged" is a good word and sounds fine. No real justification - just the way it feels to me! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2004-12-04 16:09:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could put \"y emerged\" to give a more usual word order, and I\'m worrying about \"came over\", because it implies the point of view of the Wild Flowers. \"went over\" would be more natural narrative style. |

| from the group of x there emerged y left..........approached Explanation: then Glorybind left the group of Garden Flowers and approached the Wild Flowers or "went over to the Wild Flowers" if you think "approached" is not appropriate for a children's book |

| from the group of x there emerged y popped out....and came over Explanation: But then Glorybind popped out from the garden flowers and came over to the wild flowers... This would be more to the liking of a child's imagination and reads easily. You have to make it come alive for children.
