Is ENG sentence gramatically correct? Native speaker attention needed.

It isn't.

It's not far off...I don't understand the Japanese, but in English one might say "He blamed me, saying I broke my word," or "He blamed me, saying I am the one who broke our promise." I don't think "He blamed me, saying I'd broken the promise" is bad English, just not perhaps specific.

OK, it had been corrected when you saw it :) Thanks anyway, jeanne!
