1.
Do you remember seeing a guy wearing a red hooded coat the night of the murder of Jane?

No that I can think.

Is there anything wrong with the sentence?


2. I prefer having something *substantially cheap* but with sentimental value. So that I would have a simple painting but it has a story of its own.

3.
What do you call this kind of *encouragement*? Two people that are involved in a fight. The stronger person killed the other one, because the crowd are cheering up for him. Is peer pressure there involved?

Thanks

Hi there are so many different ways you phrase your sentences depending on context and what goes before and after these little snipets

"Do you remember seeing a guy wearing a red hooded coat the night of the murder"

or

"Do you remember seeing a guy wearing a red hooded coat the night Jane was murdered"

Just use "No" or "i dont remember"

I would prefer to having something that is*substantially cheaper* but with sentimental value. So I would prefer to have a simple painting but it has a story of its own.

Peer preasure. it would depend on the circumstances. example a crowd watching a boxing fight would encourage the fighter to fight but that wouldnt be peer preasure.

Peer preasure usually has something to do with making people start something. ie smoking drinking drugs sex etc etc.
