Will you check my English? (Nov.30)
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Would you correct them?
No. 1
M: Where is the box of rubber bands (which) I bought yesterday?
F: Did you go to buy rubber bands? I have hundreds of them in
my desk.
M: Gee, I should have asked you first.
No. 2
M: We('ve) got to find a new place to have ( our ) coffee in the morning.
F: Why? The coffee here is pretty good.
M: Sure. The price is right, too. But It takes forever [ too long ]
to get served.
Thank you!
