Hi Ethan,
I think we can clean it up, just a little bit!
Maybe instead of he starts, we can say "He began therapy", so that way the sentence remains parallel with itself. As it is right now, "he starts" sort of conflicts with "to find out".
Additionally, we can make the sentence sound even better by changing the second half so that the verb tense of "is" matches with our new beginning! How about "...why he was sad".
From this, we have "He began therapy to find out why he was sad".
I hope this helps!

Hi Ethan, Technically, it is grammatically correct, but maybe change "starts" to "is" to make the sentence more parallel with itself by keeping the verb consistent. Good luck with your writing! Need any help?01/08/23
