Can you correct please?
You ask someone for directions
They asked me £ 10 for that scrap of metal
The ask a lot of money for that new house
NOT A TEACHER
They asked me £ 10 for that scrap of metal.
Why is this ambiguous? I understand this statement means "They wanted me to pay 10 pounds for that scrap of metal." Can it really mean something like "They offered me 10 pounds for that scrap of metal."?
So in what way is the sentence 'confused' as SoothingDave put it?If it said "They offered me 10 pounds (I can't make the pound symbol)..." it would mean that. It doesn't mean that with "asked."
What about "This is the person I asked the information to"? Do I need "to" or not, being a DO?
