Three patterns for ordering in: swap this for that, over such an amount, should you or not.
Grammar
Three patterns for ordering in
把 A 换成 B — swap A for B; 把 moves the thing before the verb.
e.g. 可以把香菜换成葱吗？
超过 + amount + 就… — once it passes that amount, then….
e.g. 配送费超过五块钱我就觉得有点贵。
应不应该 + verb — should one, or not? The A-not-A question with 应该.
e.g. 天气很不好的时候应不应该点外卖？
把 A 换成 B —— 要换的东西放在“把”后面、动词前面。
例：可以把香菜换成葱吗？
超过＋数目＋就…… —— 过了这个数就……
例：配送费超过五块钱我就觉得有点贵。
应不应该＋动词 —— 用“应该”的正反问。
例：天气很不好的时候应不应该点外卖？
