I would never say something such as "He had a bad luck."
However, you can say "the good/bad luck".
2/ He invited me a glass of fruit juice
=> I think the use of "invited" here is wrong, isn't it?
Yes, 'invited' is wrong. You could say this instead, for example:
- He offered me a glass of fruit juice.
(By the way, is my tag question above grammatically right?)
Yes, it's fine. The meaning is clear. |
