pocket money

Could you tell me which sentence is correct?

  • My parent gives me $20 pocket money per week.

  • My parent gives me $20 for pocket money per week.

  • My parent gives me $20 as pocket money per week.

Hi Haohaoxuexi Instead of saying "my parent", you should say "my mother" or "my father". However, it is quite typical to say "my parents". I would suggest this sentence: My parents give me $20 a week for pocket money.

  • You could also use the word ' as ' instead of ' for ', but I think ' for ' would be a little more common.
