The word “was” is what is wrong with the grammar. Only one verb is needed, and that is amply supplied by the word “is.” I would also say “though” instead of “although” but that’s personal preference, as well as it’s just easier to read for me that way.

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.

‘Walter Hunt,although was not credited for many of his inventions,is known for the invention of safety-pin.’

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.’

What is wrong is the shortcut manner – it lacks something. The sentence should be: WALTER HUNT, THOUGH MANY OF HIS INVENTIONS WERE NOT CREDITED TO HIM, IS STILL KNOWN FOR THE INVENTION OF SAFETY PIN.

The way you phrase it, the word “was” is redundant. Besides, it mixed up the tenses; “was not,” “is known.”

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.

It should be…. Although Walter Nut was not credited for many of his inventions, his invention of the”safety-pin” was known.. It has something to do with the sentence arrangement???

It just doesn’t sound right. I would say:

Walter Hunt, inventor of the safety pin, did not receive credit for many of his inventions.

…. i dont quite know, a missing word or two.

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.”

Oh, actually. Grammar verify is fairly useful (greater so with modern variations of word than word ninety seven, this is for particular). that is going to under no circumstances be relied upon. I used to tutor it off, because of the fact it would desire to no longer cope with long sentences. I even have it on now, yet I regularly forget approximately approximately it. Regardless, it does help me if i’m getting fat hands (or a strategies fart) and accidentally form, “The strengths of the Mafia has consistent with Prohibition…” word will certainly %. up on that mistake. regardless of the undeniable fact that it is not appropriate. as long as you be attentive to high-quality grammar, there is not any reason to rigidity approximately it. i haven’t had faith in word’s grammar verify for over a decade now.

I think the best option would be to take out the word “was”.
