I have made up the sentences below.
(1) Last year, we joined a lot of giveaways.
(2) Last year, we joined a lot of giveaway events.
Most of my non-native English speaking friends think both "giveaways" and "giveaway events" are okay. May I ask two questions?
(A) Do you agree with my friends?
(B) Is "joined" the right verb?
Thank you very much for your time and help.
"join" appears to be the wrong verb. g. at a store, where merchandise is given away?
