    Many thanks for the interesting story! I'm learning English as a foreign language, so I sometimes have trouble understanding grammatically complex sentences. I'm wondering if the sentence "What's such a fantastic looking woman was doing with
    such an ordinary looking man?" is grammatically correct. I'd really appreciate it if you could explain the sentence clearly.
    As always, I wish you the best of luck!

      Hi thanks for you kind words and your interesting question. I have gone back and reread the sentence you ask about and you are absolutely correct I’ve added a ‘was’ when I shouldn’t have so although it would be understood it’s wrong.
      Let's break it down and correct the sentence "What's such a fantastic looking woman was doing with such an ordinary looking man?"
      1. Subject-Verb Agreement and Tense
      The correct structure for a question should be: "What is/was [subject] doing [predicate]?"
      The verb "was" is used incorrectly with "What's," which implies "What is." I am guessing that when I wrote it I was caught in the flow of the story and switched was/is and autocorrect simply contracted it. 🤦🏼‍♂️
      2. Correction
      We need to choose the correct auxiliary verb to match the tense and structure.
      If present tense is intended: "What is such a fantastic looking woman doing with such an ordinary looking man?"
      If past tense is intended: "What was such a fantastic looking woman doing with such an ordinary looking man?"
      3. Articles and Adjectives
      "such a fantastic looking woman" and "such an ordinary looking man" are correct as they use "such a/an" to modify the noun phrases appropriately.
      4. Word Order
      I needed to ensure the word order follows standard question format: Auxiliary verb + Subject + Main verb.
      So there are two possible correct sentences
      Present tense: "What is such a fantastic looking woman doing with such an ordinary looking man?"
      or Past tense: "What was such a fantastic looking woman doing with such an ordinary looking man?"
      Hope this helps and thanks for pointing it out - Steve
