A funny joke All we know the legend of The Frog Prince. In the old version, the witch cursed (enchanted) that the prince would live as a frog till death unless a princess gave him a kiss. But now the witch's incantation is that the prince only can say one word every year untill a princess agrees to his propose. The prince waits and waits. After 7 years, the prince can say a complete sentence eventually. He finds the princess and says to the princess fondly:“ My dear princess, will you marry me?” The princess looks at him and says "Pardon?". Please help me correct my grammar errors or my lexical (word) errors. P.S. When I meet the new words, I will refer to the dictionary. So sometimes I don't know whether the word in bracket is right. Also I don‘t know whether the "joke" in the heading is appropriate.

But now the witch's incantation In this version, is that the enchanted prince only can say one word every a year untill a princess agrees to his propose. The prince waits and waits.

"My dear princess, will you marry me?"


When he completed his sentence, the princess looks at him and replied, says "Pardon?"


Please help me correct my grammar errors and word usage. or my lexical (word) errors.


The way you wrote the joke is unclear.  Took me a while to get the punch.


P.S. When I meet the encounter new words, I will refer to the dictionary. So sometimes I don't know whether the word in the brackets is right. Also I don‘t know whether if the "joke" in the heading is appropriate. 

 

When you use "whether", it must follow by "or...".  "Whether you eat or not, is not my concern".  The use of "if" does not have this requirement.  The title is fine.
