Just a brain twister. It can go both the subject way or the object way. 'Because acts as an adverb of reason modifying the verb 'beat'. Subjective reason would mean that the mother was drunk, while objective reason would mean that the daughter was drunk. There was no specification to who was drunk. Like I said, it's a brain twister. 1 Like |

The QUESTION ought to be reported in a past form. Generally, Narrative writings are reported in past forms. Therefore, the right sentence is... A Mother beat up her daughter because she was drunk. However at this point we still don't know who was drunk😂😂, but the word " beat" should take precedence. Typing BEATS makes it look like her daughter is still receiving the beating since beats is part of the present. 1 Like |

This is an ambiguous sentence/statement. Either of them them could be drunk; hence there's is no answer to the above question. 1 Like |
