Is it correct if I say:
1) Our teacher gave us a concise lecture.
2) My father likes to elicit [the] information from me.
3) The student's performance ties in with his family situation and life style lifestyle.
Are those sentences correct?
Thank you.
Please note my amendments above in red - spelling, punctuation, capitalisation and spacing.
I wouldn't describe a lecture as concise, I would simply call it short.
Whether you need the article in number 2 depends on the context.
I'm not sure how someone's performance can tie in with their lifestyle but if it can, then the sentence is fine.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
