Would you correct my English? ( Jan.14 )
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Would you check them?
No. 1
M: Will you come shopping with me?
( Q. Can't I say "go shopping with me"? )
F: It depends on where you're going. Can I buy some books?
( Q. Can't I say,"Can I buy any books?" here? )
M: Sure. I'm going to the department store behind the station.
No. 2
M: Have you seen today's newspaper?
F: Yes. I put it in the bookcase beside the TV. It's on the far

M: Will you come shopping with me?
( Q. Can't I say "go shopping with me"? ) Yes, you may. "Come with me" and "go with me" are not subject to the same types of restrictions as "bring it with you" and "take it with you."
