Olympiad: best buys and change at the till ★★★, sentence 2
Picture a jacket at £40 with a sign "half price, then a further quarter off": half leaves £20, and a quarter of £20 is £5, so you pay £15, not the £10 that "three quarters off" would give.
Who acts: you, half, three quarters · What happens: picture, leave, pay, give · To what, where: jacket
