Would you correct my English? ( Mar. 2 )

Hello. I wrote two dialogues. Will you correct them?

No. 1

M: Will you date with me? How about this Friday?

F: Well...I have an appointment.

M: When will you be free then?

F: Saturday is fine. Anytime after six would be all right ( with me ).

No. 2

M: It's awful weather, isn't it?

F: Sure. But the weather will change for the better.

M: Did the weather forecast said so?

F: Yes. Tomorrow we'll enjoy a crisp spring day.

Thank you. kenta

Hi,

I'll try to make these sound natural.









No. 1 (This very much depends on the age of the people talking)



M: Are you doing anything on Friday?



F: Well...sorry, I'm busy.



M: What day is good for you?



F: Saturday evening is fine.

Is anything wrong with this usage?
'When will you be free then?' (in the original message.)

Hi,

This kind of thing (When . . . . . then?) is commonly said.

I'd put a comma before 'then'.



However, in the context of asking for a date, this particular question seems to me to be too direct. It suggests to me that the speaker is pressuring the other person too much.
