: Hello,
: Could anyone take a look at the questions that were on my exam. I somehow found them a bit strange.
: -The dictionary is too expensive. Could you me 25% discount? ......Is there an "a" before the 25%??
: There was another multipul choice a bit strange,
: -Let's go to the movies, 1)shall we?
: 2)all right?
: 3)No problem?
: Which one above is correct?
: Thanks
The first sentence does read awkwardly, and inserting an "a" before 25% would, as you suggest, make it better.
with regard to the multiple choice, 1 is perfectly correct, if a bit formal. 2 would be colloquial, but perfectly understandable. 3 is clunky.
