Can I also say "Is this place free"?
I don't think it's correct, but I want to make sure I'm right.
Thank you!
Yes, I'm asking if there is a free chair.Are you intending to sit?
Yes, I'm asking if there is a free chair.
If I got it right, "Is this place free?" is not wrong but it cannot be used with the sense of "Is this seat free / taken"?Then I would stick with "Is this seat free?"
