Hi, everyone, I have come across an English sentence that I think that is grammatically incorrect, could anyone help check if my view is correct?
The sentence in question is as follow:
[On the outside you cannot tell anything IS wrong with me]
I am wondering if [is] in the sentence above is necessary, as I think [is] is redundant.
Am I correct?
Thanks in advance.
Proofreading please

[On the outside you cannot tell anything IS wrong with me] - the sentence you gave us.[On the outside, you can't tell that anything is wrong with me] - the sentence that I think it should be.
LOL, sorry but i can't really explain it. But the sentence that you gave us sounds a bit weird. I think by putting a comma after "outside", and putting "that" after "tell", it will make the sentence sounds better.

Of course there are grammtical mistakes. However, your sentence is very confusing. Perhaps you should express your idea in Chinese so that someone can thelp you making a correct sentence.

The original sentence is correct.
The break down of the sentence structure is:
On the outside
you cannot tell anything
that is wrong with me.
(=there is not anything wrong with me)
The break down of the sentence structure is:
On the outside
you cannot tell anything
that is wrong with me.
(=there is not anything wrong with me)
