A quiz
"First 2 winners are going to have free lessons." Is this grammatically correct?
(There is an online quiz with a question. They offer a free lesson for winners)
I am not sure if their post is grammatically correct. The quiz is not over and the winners are not announced yet.
I think it should be
"The first two winners will get free lessons."

Yes,Kaylee has corrected your sentence. The sentence requires the definite article 'the' because the 'first two winners' must be known to the speaker and listener/s because the article 'particularizes' the winners.

It is not grammatically correct. "The first two winners will get free lessons" is much better.
