heated argument:

So my wife's friend is working at a company.

Some "gyopo" is correcting her grammar. He is claiming that these are the grammatically correct ways to say the following:


"Please tell me which brand of your car is"

"Please tell me which brand model of your car are"

1) are these sentences correct?

2) If not, can you correct these sentences?

No, not correct.

Please tell me which brand you car is. But brand I feel is the wrong term, make/model would be much better (UK English)

Please tell me which brand model your car is. But as above really.

Please tell me which model your car is.

Please tell me which brand of car you drive.

Simple.

You had to ask?
