hello dear friends!
Could you possibly tell me in the following expression is right?
"He was born out of Peter and Anna. two travelling actors"
I have just seen it and it seems to me a bit odd.
Thank you in advance |

Hello.
I don �t think I �ve ever heard that expression before. I think it �s supposed to be like this:
"He was born to Peter and Anna, two traveling actors."
Or better yet, if you �re not sure, you can just say:
"He is the son/child of Peter and Anna, two traveling actors."
I hope it helps.
