Yes, it is correct! He = Pronoun.Bears= Verb, in the simple present tense, meaning – “He has”.A good character = a person having a good character.Moral= adjective, describing the type of character. What kind? Good. Similar to saying “He has a good (moral) character.”

Your sentence is not quite correct, but it is very close. Just remove the word “a” and you’re good to go!He bears good moral character.You asked for the grammar behind the sentence. Here’s how the sentence parses:He – nominative pronoun, subject of the sentencebears – action verb, third person singulargood – adjective modifying ‘moral’moral – adjective modifying ‘character’character – noun

Verb is infinite in your sentence. A best and correct usage of assertion. he is bearing or he was bearing or he has been bearing or he would be bearing – which are finite.He bears good moral character means he has never been of bad character and one can rely on him. “a good moral character” is not wrong since ‘a’ denotes to good – there are many good things. one of them is “a”. It is merely in the direct speech using ‘a’ here and there. not in writing. There are many characters – physical characters, mental characters, behavioral characters, etc., and “a good moral character” is thus good. “He bears a very good moral character” also used.“He bears a very pretty good moral character” is also applicable. But in conversations only.
