It’s funny you should have bought the same dress as me. They are exactly the same.
Keep your fingers crossed. The traffic warden could not have noticed/ may not have noticed that the car is parked on double yellow lines.

Welcome to EL&U. The site does not work like that; Stack Exchange favors questions that will be helpful to many people, and which have answers which are definitive. If you can identify yourself which ones you think are correct and why, and why you are confused about any of them, we can help you work through it, but we cannot answer requests for proofreading or checking schoolwork. I strongly encourage you to take the site tour and review the help center for additional guidance. Our sister site for English Language Learners may also be of interest.
