May is used to indicate permission) address call me anytime."
"I think I will avail myself of your help/offer reight offer right now. I have to go to a/the drugstore but our car is in the workshop." (a drugstore if you want any drugstore - the drugstore if you want a specific drugstore. Use the workshop since the car is in a specific workshop)
"I will/would be glad to give you a lift ma`am." Either will or would.
Thank you. I will tell my husband (can I use "warn", does it require "about") and come down in a minute." To warn someone is to alert them of some danger - tell is fine. "I will tell my husband about you..."
"We can go now."
Should I use "about" with tell. I know that when I mention something for the first time I should use an indefinite article. But when there is a concrete "drugstore" or "workshop" which of them should I use?
And my last question. When I want to say ' which of them should be used here" is it necessary to add "in this sentence".
Thank you very much.
