先生が私に怒っているのを恐れているよ。Does this Japanese make sense?
first of all, is it gramatically correct?'
2nd, is this even the proper way to ask such a question?
maybe i should use shinpai suru or fuan or something instead of osoreru.. haha. i DO fear my teacher may be mad at me, but its more of a type of anxiety rather than yknow..serious FEAR.
so i think i should use a different verb. not sure. please explain as much as you can or offer examples
thank you! :D
Update:right right, i know its not a question heh sorry i meant is it the right way to say such a sentence XD oops

i feel that this sentence is saying that you are you are fearful (because) your teacher is angry with you.
it comes across that your teacher is mad now and you are fearful now.
in the comments you say "i DO fear my teacher may be mad at me" and use may, which assumes that there is uncertainty or it is unclear whether your teacher is in fact angry.
when it is uncertain or unclear you can say something like:
先生が私に怒っているのか心配だよ I worry my teacher may be mad at me.
i think 先生が私に怒るのを恐れているよ is a more natural expression. this translates to something closer to "I'm afraid of my teacher getting mad at me".
anyhow, i too think the sentence is fine.
It is ok, but it is not a question.
