Can you help me with one sentence?
|
I wonder whether the following sentence is correct or not: "How long is the carpet in width and length?"
If not, can you help me to write it correctly?
Thanks in advance for your always helpful pieces of advice

I would rather say "How wide and how long is the carpet?". I hope it helps. Titine |

I �d say: � What is the length and width of the carpet? �

How long and how wide is the carpet?/ What �s the width and length of the carpet? - both are fine. |

You could even ask, "What are the dimensions of the carpet?" But don �t be surprised if some smart aleck also gave you the depth of the carpet: "It is 20 � long, 15 � wide, and has .5" pile." |
