1) I'd rather stay at home than go to summer camp. I'd prefer to go today rather than on another day.
2)We are having breakfast and dinner at the hotel. We are having a box lunch.
3) I need to buy a bag of lettuce, a bunch of water cress, a pound of fresh sliced carrots, a plastic carton of cherry tomatoes, a stalk of celery, a bunch of onions, a two pack of yoghurt, a tub of soft fruit ice-cream, a bag of frozen seafood, a pound of horse meat, and a one-litre bottle of vinegar.
4) I also need two cans of peeled tomatoes, one can of tuna fish, and a jar of pickled peppers.
5) ... a jar of mayonnaise. Whether it's glass or plastic, it's referred to as a jar.
6) I also need box of dishwasher soap and a box of soap for the washing machine.
7) When I set the table, I lay the tablecloth, then the cutlery, the plates and bowls, the napkins, and finally the glasses on the table.
8) Would you like to come to Peter's house today? I can't because I have an appointment with Mark today.
