The use of notice and attractive in my sentences

Rachel Adams · Aug 27, 2021

Can I use "notice" and "attractive" in my sentences? Should I use "note" instead of "notice"?

"I would also like to notice that cities have other sides and one of them is a business side of a city. This city isn't an exception. It has a business side that gives workplaces to people and attractive workers from all over the world."

'Notice' will not work at all.* While 'attractive' is grammatically correct, I don't think it's what you mean to say.

As written, you're stating that workplaces are only available to attractive workers. Ugly workers can't be hired? Use 'attract'.

Also, you might check a dictionary for the differences as verbs between 'note' and 'notice'. 'Attract' is a verb, while 'attractive' is an adjective.

*Edit: 'Notice' does actually work grammatically, it just doesn't work in the context you're trying to use it.

I will use "note". Yes, I don't mean that regarding "attractive workers". I mean workers who companies may be interested in because they are hard-working, responsible, etc. Is my use of "side" correct?

My shot.

Rachel, you seem to have stopped using quotation marks in your thread titles, though you used them correctly in the first line of your post. :-?

Cities have business areas, and they have areas that are primarily residential.

Could you please explain why it should be "the business side" but not "a business side"? "... one of them is a the business side of a city."

How about: I would like to point out/highlight that cities have other sides and one of them is the business side?

There are many other sides to the city, but we are talking about (specifically) the business side.

"a" could work. I just felt that "the" made it more specific among other "sides".

There's central business district.

As for business side, well there's side business.
