Is this the correct sentence to describe skin with thorns in it. I'm looking for the right word/particle (pierced?) for skin that has thorns in it.

Question

His skin is pierced in thorns.

Answer 1

Hi Ethan,

Your sentence is largely correct. Just replace 'in' with with to make it grammatically correct according to the given preposition.

His skin is pierced with thorns.

But yes, "pierced" is the right word/adjective for you to use in this context.

Answer 2

Yes, the verb "pierced" does make sense in this sentence, but it would be best to replace the word "in" with another preposition like "with" or "by."
