Hello,


I want to know if the following is correct or not:

A: Do you mind if I take the last piece of cake?
B: Sure. I'm full.

I guess it's correct and natural. Am I right?


Thank you for your concern and comment.

It is correct and natural. It is also polite.

I might expect something like, "B: Not at all. I'm full."
