Re: usage

There are many sights in KL to keep tourists.
Is my sentence possible? Thanks in advance.

Re: usage

First, what is KL?

Re: usage

KL is Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

Re: usage

I see.

There are many sights in Kuala Lumpur to keep tourists.

It's possible, but it's not meaningful. For example, you might want to say what it is that the sights will do for tourists:

There are many sights in Kuala Lumpur to keep tourists interested.

Here, the sights are not 'keeping tourists'; they are 'keeping them interested'.

Do you see what I mean?
