Grammar
Half a gallon or a half gallon
Hi. Please help. Are they both correct? I think they are, and I also think they mean practically the same (if not the exactly the same).
1. He ordered a half gallon of vinegar.
2. He ordered half a gallon of vinegar.
1. He ordered a half gallon of vinegar.
2. He ordered half a gallon of vinegar.

Both are correct. Half can be a predeterminer as well as an adjective. The only difference is that half gallon is used as an adjective as well as a noun.
