A soda

[Rachel Adams]

Is it wrong to use "a" before "soda"?
"Can I have a soda?"

As "a water", "a wine" "a milk" and "a coffee" are correct meaning a glass of each of them I was wondering if you use "a soda."

Yes, although ordering "a soda" will probably result in your being brought a can or a single-serve bottle.

Sorry, do you mean it's not wrong?

The end of your sentence was "I was wondering if you use "a soda". The first word of my response was "Yes". Do you think I'm saying you're right or wrong?

OK. I got it. Could you tell me please the name of the construction you used in your sentence? In this sentence: "..... your being brought a can or a single-serve bottle."

I don't remember the book I copied it from "How do you feel about my taking him to visit his father in jail?"
Can I use "me taking" and in your sentence too can "your" be replaced by "you"?

Nope! You'll need a grammar expert for that.
