affirmative

Post by PinkLady »

Are these sentences standard in English?



a) "I would like to know whether your company sells this product, and in affirmative case, how much it is."


b) "I would like to know whether your company sells this product, and in the event that the answer is affirmative, how much it is."

While your sentences are grammatically possible, they are not standard or idiomatic.

Below is “standard”:

"I would like to know whether your company sells this product and, if so, how much it is."
