a single or (a) double #1 (permalink) Tue Feb 10, 2009 3:45 am   a single or (a) double
 

Hi,

1)Would you like a single or a double room?
2)Would you like a single or double room?

Which sentence is correct? I think both are okay. Am I right? If you don't think so: one of them is not grammatically correct, why is that? Would you explain that?

Thanks,
sweetpumpkin

You shouldn't be confused to 'double' here as plural form of a noun. "A" in a double room is for the noun room I think. So confident to say a double room.

If it doesnot clear up, you would see the following sentence:

I'd like a twin-beded room for one night please. Here "twin-beded" is understood "double".

Am I right ?
