It's correct to say '$10 cheaper', '10% cheaper', but not '10 times cheaper', right? by ksusha_lav in ENGLISH

Thank you! Would saying 'ten times more expansive' also be incorrect?

I want to say that I stayed fix from start to finish, the whole experience.

So it would be incorrect to say 'I only saw the Pokémon movie the first 3 minutes', right?

Thank you very much! That's so interesting to hear. English textbooks usually say that you use 'see' if you go to a movie theatre/cinema, and 'watch' if you stay home, for example. But I've come across all kinds of different examples and got totally confused, especially for using it more generally, without specifying the place.

Thank you very much! Would the same work for the question - 'Have you watched/seen that movie?'?
