	New2grammar  #373380  Fri, 01 Jun 07 03:21 AM My friend came to visit me and is in my house. I would like to offer her to stay but I only have a room to myself. Can I say this: You can stay at my place but since I only have a room to myself, you would have to sleep with me.

' .... sleep on the same bed with me'. Will that solve the misunderstanding?    Yoong Liat Joined on Mon, Sep 4 2006 Singapore Veteran Member (6,009) Yoong Liat

	Grammar Geek  #373406  Fri, 01 Jun 07 04:46 AM Perhaps you could say something like this: I see how late it is! If you want to stay here, you are welcome to, but I have only my one room, so I'm afraid we'd have to share a bed. It is more comfortable than the floor, though! I have to say, this is so contrary to American culture that it's hard to imagine this.    Grammar Geek

Hi Grammer Geek, So what Americans usually do in this situation? Best wishes, Ernest    Peaceblinkfriend Joined on Wed, May 9 2007 Australia Contributing Member (1,571)

	nona the brit  #373643  Fri, 01 Jun 07 04:53 PM In England we'd say 'share my room/bed' or 'crash in my bed' or 'sleep on the sofa'.    nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member (11,354) The name says it all.

	Marius Hancu  #373682  Fri, 01 Jun 07 06:00 PM Well, if you're not of the same sex, and over  a certain age (like 10), sleeping in the same bed would not be OK in many cultures.    Marius Hancu Joined on Wed, Apr 26 2006 Montreal, Canada Veteran Member (11,673)
