What is wrong with this sentence from GRAMMAR point of view?
Favorite Answer
So, “Walter Hunt, though not credited for many of his inventions, is known for the invention of the safety-pin.”
I see I added “the” in front of safety-pin, too. It had to be there, you can see that when you read it out loud. Reading stuff out loud always helps.

The placement of words in this sentence is not grammatically correct. The correct way of saying this sentence is:
‘Walter Hunt is known for the invention of the safety pin, although he was not credited for many of his other inventions.’
Still, even better would be swap the ends of the sentence.
Walter hunt is known for the invention of the safety pin, although he is not credited for many of his other creations.
Walter Hunt, inventor of the safety pin, did not receive credit for many of his inventions.
or maybe that, it flows more, and is easier if it’s phrased
“Walter Hunt is known for the invention of safety-pin, although was not credited for many of his inventions.”
