Would you correct my English? (Sep.7)

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

No. 1

M: How many people are coming to our party tonight?

F: Seven, plus Tom and Yumi. That makes nine.

M: So including us, we need to arrange [ set ] 11 seats [ places ] at the table.

No. 2

M: Do you have evening flights to Hiroshima?

F: There's only one direct flight at 9:15 am each weekday, and on

the weekend, there is a flight at 8 p.m.

M: I see. I'd like to book [ reserve / make a reservation for ] the Saturday flight.

Thank you. kenta

Perfect. " "Any" is often used in questions when there is an idea of doubt. " = I think that you probably do.

Perfect. One suggestion: native speakers might say, "Do you have ANY evening flights to Hiroshima?" "Any" is often used in questions when there is an idea of doubt. E.g., "Do you have any money?" = I don't know; "Do you have some money?" = I think that you probably do.
