I just wanna know if they are the sentences that could be understood easily in the conversation. (I made the sentences but i didn't know this point.)

1. She was crowned as the queen of the country when she was 20.

2. Would you please give me a glass of soda water with ice in it?

3. Not only the girls, but also boys now like to dye their hair into all kinds of colors.

Thanks for your patience!

while these do work, maybe adjusting them a little will help.


1 She was crowned queen when she was 20 (we would know she is Queen of a country-maybe say what one/otherwise leave it out)

2. May I please have a glass of ice water?
(beginning 'Would you/Can i' doesnt matter---- ice water would tell them exactly what you want. unless by soda water do you mean seltzer? =see im confused)

3. Boys are now dying their hair all kind of colors-it's not only girls anymore!
(just rephrased)

They're easily understood, but sound a little stilted.

> 1. She was crowned as the queen of the country when she was 20.

> 2. Would you please give me a glass of soda water with ice in it?

> Not only the girls, but also boys now like to dye their hair into all kinds of colors.

Precise and grammatically correct!

Anybody with a working knowledge of English should have no problem understanding it. The local "spoken word" will vary due to colloquialisms, but you can not go wrong with "proper English"!

All three sentences are grammatically sound.
