Hi
I am preparing a lesson and I �m confused about this:
Which one is true?
"Are Alice and Sam dating?" or " Are they on a date?"
thanks in advance. |

Both are ok but have a different meaning.
Are Alice and Sam dating? means Are Alice and Sam a couple?
Are they on a date? means Are they having, for example, an evening out together? |

Grammatically both are correct
Are Alice and Sam dating? It talks about the relationship between them
Are they on a date? It talks about a certain event where they are spending
time together
