Which is correct?

Do they both mean something? Or is only one correct?

Is getting your haircut worth $1000?
Is $1000 worth getting your haircut?

Is the car worth $10000?
Is $10000 worth the car?

Thank you so much

The worth of the car is $10,000. (But that would be an odd way to put it.)

Hi Enoon,

Wouldn't the second examples be correct if you said

I'll give you $1000 if you get your haircut.

"Is $1000 dollars worth getting your haircut" I thought to myself.

What do you think?

Enoon,

Could I ask you for your opinion on these 3 one sentence threads, I can't seem to get the right answer please?

Why do I always miss your replies?

Please take note that the noun is one word, "haircut", and the verb is "cut". You get your hair cut (two words), and you get a haircut (one word).

"I'll give you $1000 if you get your haircut" should be "I'll give you $1000 if you get your hair cut."

"Is $1000 dollars worth getting your hair cut

Hello Enoon,
Thank you for you reply

It isn't that confusing. What is confusing now is noun or verb If I want to use a noun What do you think? "Is $1000 dollars worth getting A haircut?" I have a few head scratchers that people keep giving me different answers to.

These are confusing. Do you think you could answer the last tread I posted on each please so as to clear it up fo
