Hi Brona, this is mostly excellent, but a few comments for you:

1.We would say: You can't buy bananas in the restaurant.

Not "some bananas".

2.You can only buy them in the supermarket.

"Buy them only" doesn't sound right.

3."You can order him your dinner"

I can't understand this one. Did you want to say: "You can order your dinner from him" or "You can order his dinner for him"?

Apart from that, it is great.

:-)

Claire
