Question

I'd like the community to review the following paragraph for grammatical correctness in the dialogue: "'I'm going to the store,' said John. 'Do you you want to come with me?' his friend asked. 'No, I'm good,' John replied."

Answer 1

The paragraph is mostly correct, but there is a small grammatical error due to a repeated word. Here’s a corrected version:

"'I'm going to the store,' said John. 'Do you want to come with me?' his friend asked. 'No, I'm good,' John replied."

The double "you" in "Do you you want" should be corrected to a single "you." With this correction, the paragraph is grammatically correct.
