Grammar
Need major help with these sentence, if anyone can??
Could you please help me correct these sentences grammatically?
1 Do you know whether it's me who's supposed to pay or them?
2 How expensive is that hotel/how much does that hotel cost in relation to this one?
3 It'll end up costing us the same/It'll turn out to cost us the same whether we take the bus or the subway.
4 I called to see if and when the technician would be getting in/was going to be getting in.
5 Does your girlfriend consider chatting up a girl to mean cheating on her?
6 Does it matter if she goes?/Does her going matter?
7 We need 3 of the same brand highlighters./3 of the same highlighter brands.
8 The more you talk the more sh'll remember your face.
9 Lets eat at home for a week. It'll save us money.
10 If I take 3 different planes, I'm 3 times more likely to crash than if I take just a direct flight.
11 Let me let you know in how long the battery will be full.
Thank you

Hello Mr Micawber
for number 7
We need 3 of the same brand highlighters./3 of the same highlighter brands.
What's the difference and wouldn't it be
"I need 3 highlighter of the same brand"

alc24We need 3 of the same brand highlighters./3 of the same highlighter brands.Between the three, this is how I would say it: "I need 3 highlighters of the same brand"

We need 3 of the same brand highlighters./3 of the same highlighter brands.-- The 1st is one brand; the 2nd is more than one brand
We need 3 of the same brand highlighters./3 of the same highlighter brand.-- No difference.
We need 3 of the same brand highlighters./3 of the same highlighter brand.-- No difference.

Hello Mr Micawber,
I had one question:
Wouldn't it be better to say
"3 highlighter of the same brand" as stated above.
I had one other thing
How would you say this naturally:
- That's not the same brand (of) cereal we had yesterday. (how would a native say this please?)
Thank you Mr Micawber

These are OK, too:
3 highlighters of the same brand
That's not the same kind of cereal we had yesterday.
3 highlighters of the same brand
That's not the same kind of cereal we had yesterday.
