Is the two sentences okay??

Question

1.She takes the cake for finding bargains at dirt cheap prices.
2.She really cut loose once the band began to play.

Is the two sentences good for me to use in my composition??
if not, how can I change it?

Answer 1

The two sentences are grammatical correct. And they are good figuritive sentences for a composition. The only thing I would really say about it is don't use TOO MANY figuritive speaking descriptions of someone. That has a tendance to make the composition unimaginative.

Answer 2

1. For finding bargains at dirt cheap prices, she takes the cake.
2. once the band began to play, she really cut loose.
Change the order in sentences for a different style will keep your work from becoming boring.

Answer 3

First of all, it's "Are the two sentences okay?" When you deconstruct a question, think about the answer:

"The two sentences is . . ." versus "The two sentences are . . ." are modified by the pural subject "two sentences".

The sentences are mostly correct, though the colloquialisms (that's the word for an everyday saying) are antiquated (old).

1. She takes the cake at finding bargains at dirt cheap prices.

Instead of 'for' you put 'at' or nothing at all there.

2. She really cut loose once the band began to play.

That is perfect, though 'cut loose' is a dated colloquialism.

Answer 4

I would say this:

1.When it comes to finding bargains at dirt cheap prices, she takes the cake.
2. When the band begins to play, she really cuts loose.

and for your question to begin with: ARE these two sentences okay?

Answer 5

Yes, these sentences are both fine. They are correctly using English slang expressions, i.e., "takes the cake" and "cut loose."

Answer 6

Those are gramatically correct usages of those slang terms.
