I think, No. That could be

I think, No. That could be "Have you had lunch today?" or "Have you had any for lunch today?", if you want to use the Present Perfect. What do you say, Prof?

the correct one is

what do you have for luch today?

Correct forms: "Have you had

Correct forms:
"Have you had lunch today" --if you are asking if the person took lunch.
"Have you had any for lunch today?"-- if you are asking if the person took at least some food for lunch.

It´s incorrect

The correct question would be What did you have for lunch today?

"What did you have for lunch

"What did you have for lunch today?" is also correct.
You are asking what food did the person eat today.
This is American Grammar.

"What have you got for lunch today?
Same meaning but used in the British grammar.

my coment

In Bank

Withdrew is a noun Why? it is not a verb

Deposit is a verb

RE: withdraw

'Withdraw' is a present tense verb; 'withdrew' is the past tense. 'Withdrawal' is the noun.

20% off?

What's the mistake in this sentence:"These items are on sell. 20%off. Let's buy some."? Thanks.

These items are on sale.

These items are on sale.

And the mistake is...

Big and purple, children love Barney.

Could you explain, please, what's incorrect? Frankly speaking, the sentence is not quite clear to me: Barney is big and purple?

Thu, 06/18/2009 - 17:04 — lolit_cbls

A better form I guess is

A better form I guess is ....Children love big and purple Barney.
