Hello everyone,
I'm trying to learn reading on my own but it is so tough sometimes.
Please help me with this question.
I couldn't find the meaning of “sure if” in any dictionary. “Genuinely modest, but always sure if his ambitions and achievements.” Isn't it should be "sure of"?

It’s a typo. Should be “sure in”, meaning something like “confident regarding”.kkavcar wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 9:28 am Hello everyone,
