That sentence actually doesn't make much sense, or at least the contraction doesn't.Originally Posted by JPaul
Wasn't is a contracted form of " was not". Which would make the sentence "Was not he trying to rebut them ....
The first sentence in this post " .... doesn't make much sense ...." is fine, as doesn't in that context is a contraction for does not. Which would make the sentence " .... does not make much sense ....".
Point is that "Wasn't" as a contraction can't just be placed anywhere.
Please accept my apologies.
