 difference between sentences 2. Have you eaten lunch? What is the difference between the two sentences? I remember reading sentence 1 is AmE while 2 is British English. |

| Re: difference between sentences . I don't think that it is as clear-cut as that. The BrE/AmE differential is smudging. #1 is usually used as a simple enquiry, where #2 suggests an increased concern or perhaps an impending offer, but either could be used in identical situations. . |
