Joe: Look, there's a competition at the club tonight. We can choose a country and answer some questions about it; if we win we'll get a price.
Amanda: which country do you want to chose?

	Francky5591 Number of messages: 12396	But you're right, I had to edit some of this text in oeder for it to be understandable. One thing I didn't succeed to understand, is that Joe says "don't" after Amanda replied his question about the fact she went to Australia. I guass this text is an exercise about the interrogative form, and the affirmative one into English, as it is something speciic of this language. Talking about that you may have translated a little bit too literaly these forms, as they are quite different according to respectively English, and Portuguese...

	casper tavernello Number of messages: 5057	Price is how costs something. Prize is rewards.according to wiktionary, but I see is the same word in french, prix. If we think etymologicly (linguastic word, don't know if it exists) they are actually same word.

	Francky5591 Number of messages: 12396	Yes, but "price" is mentioned in my dictionary as "reward", then "prize" is to be understood at a higher level "reward" (E.G. "Nobel prize". When it is relative to a small contest (like radiophonic contest) price is meant as a "small reward"...

	casper tavernello Number of messages: 5057	Ok.Francky.That's right. Linguastic!

	Francky5591 Number of messages: 12396	I mean an ol' English-French dictionary, not a monolingual one, it makes the distinction between "prize" and "price" the way I explained it to caspertavernello. It was not even typed "prize "nor "price" originaly, it was typed "pring"... As I mentioned, it must be an English course exercise for this young fellow who submited the text to translation, in order to learn interrogative and affirmative forms in English...

	apple Number of messages: 972	Yes, I saw that. I asked about the dictionary because I just thought that in French is "prix" in both cases. Isn't it? (short interrogatve form "
