-Furthermore, in the native lowering the inputs that are not needed in the computation
+Furthermore, when native lowering the inputs that are not needed in the computation
 are ignored, so the dimension variables must be derivable only from used inputs.
 In the following example, the `x_unused` is not part of the computation so its
 input shapes cannot be used for deriving the dimension variables, and you will
