Would you correct my English? (Jan.9)
Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?
No. 1
M: I've got a return ticket to Tokyo the day after tomorrow.
I'd like to reconfirm my [ the ] reservation.
F: Sure. Can I get [ have ] your name?
M: Yes, my name is Carl Coast.
No. 2
M: I normally don't prescribe antibiotics for colds. But yours is quite [ rather ] serious.
( 'I don't normally' is also OK? )
F: You mean I should take antibiotics?
M: Exactly. You can't drink while ( you are ) taking them.
Thank you. kenta

F: Sure. Can I get [ have ] your name? -- "get your name" is not terribly natural to me (though perfectly intelligible). I would say "have your name" or "take your name". "get your name"
