00#1 may be technically correct, but it's difficult to read. We ( I ) expect something like, "It's not for nothing that he asked you to come there and give a speech."02br
02br
00Perhaps if you said, " - - he asked you to come there, and then he gave you a lot of money." 02br

0Thank you Avangi,02br
02br
00That's right . I mean he asks you to come there and the he will give you money.02br
02br
00Just another small question, some people say " is it that he didn't like Mary " in sentence #3 is not ok . Please help clarify this ?02br

0If I understand your question, it's okay to use the contraction. "Is it that he didn't like Mary?" = "Is it that he did not like Mary?" Both are correct.0-
