Hi,
Please check these sentences and correct them.
1. Don't worry, I already put/set him straight (on this matter).
2. Do I have to feed in the paper first? / Let me set/put you straight for the tenth time. You have to dial the number first.
3. Please a little bit come down. / I want to have/get $25 for this, straight up!
4. Do you think you got/had your priorities straight?
5. Do you know [when, in what mood] she has/keeps her hair in straight or curly mode?
6. Now let me get this straight. You'll buy it from me, and you'll give it back to me for nothing, but you want to be able to use it whenever you need. Do I have that right?
7. Go straight and I don't like you.
8. Let's get one thing straight (before we start). This is about you, not me!
Thanks a million.
