Is the following sentence correct and natural?

I bought you a spider-man game.

Is the following sentence correct and natural?

I bought you a [STRIKE]spider-man[/STRIKE] Spiderman game.

I assume you are talking about the Marvel Comics character. If I'm right, you must write it correctly - it's one word and is capitalised. I don't really understand your title.

Is the following sentence correct and natural?

I bought you a Spiderman game.

It is now.

But it doesn't look like verb/object/object to me.

(Cross-post.)

The thread title relates to the grammatical structure of the sentence. The verb bought takes two objects, indirect (you) and direct (a Spiderman game).

Polyester knows very well that the title should have been I bought you a spider-man game,


'Thread titles should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.'

 

[Tdol]

It looks like a ditransitive verb to me there.

One more question,

I bought you a set of Mcdonald. Is it also okay?

I bought you a set of Mcdonald. Is it also okay?

What's a "set of Mcdonald"?

 

[tedmc]

I think it is a Mcdonald set meal, which they call it in the menu.

 

[GoesStation]

I think it is a [STRIKE]Mcdonald[/STRIKE] McDonald's set meal, which they call it in the menu.

See the correct spelling and capitalization above.

 

[tedmc]

"McDonald's" is the brand of course.

I have one more question.

"I bought you a set of Mcdonald."

Is it also okay?

See above for how your post should have looked.

I think it is a Mcdonald's set meal, which is what they call it [STRIKE]in[/STRIKE] on the menu.

"McDonald's" is the brand, of course.

Note my corrections above.

Polyester: I bought you a meal at McDonald"s.
Tarheel: How nice of you!
