Would you correct my English?
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you check them?
No. 1
M: I'm going to the supermarket to buy (some) vegetables for dinner.
F: We also need some candles for the cake and blocks of ice for the
cooler.
M: Thank you for reminding me. I'll get them.
No. 2 At the supermarket
M: Excuse me, ma'am. Where do you have eggs?
F: They are across from the fresh fruit corner. You'll find them (it?) easily.
If you want, shall I show you to the place?
M: No, I think I can find it myself.
Thank you!
