    Smile Could I ask a question?

    An oven that cleans in dishes itself.

    I've made a sentence but I can't sure that is right.
    Answer me, please...

    Welcome to the forums. I'm afraid your sentence doesn't make any sense. Can you rephrase it?

    Can I ask a one more question?
    Is that right sentence?


    A dish washer that cleans dishes itself is very handy.

    It's OK grammatically. But a dishwasher that doesn't clean dishes by itself is kind of pointless.

    You can have a self-cleaning oven.
