Question one is grammatically correct. Question two would make sense if it read: Would it be discounted as we are buying in such large quantities? 3. He proposed that I should work in Germany as a nurse. 4. I don't quite know what you want to say on this one but I will make a guess, He proposed to take the rest there for me. (We would normally say 'He offered to take the rest there for me.) 5. I proposed to him that I would reduce the loan or I proposed to him to reduce the loan. 6. I proposed to his that the loan should be reduced. Hope this is some help to you. English can be confusing. We use proposal i.e. My proposal was that we should reduce the loan. and offer - I offered to reduced the loan for him.

1. Would "there" be a discount since we're buying in such large quantities? 2. Would "it" be a discount since we're buying in such large quantities? 1. is correct. 2. is not correct. It should say, 'Would "it" incur a discount since we're buying in such large quantities?' 'It' implies 'the sale'. 3. He proposed me to work in Germany as a nurse. incorrect He proposed that I work in Germany as a nurse. 4. He proposed taking a rest there to me. incorrect He proposed that I rest there. 5. I proposed him to reduce the loan. incorrect I proposed to him that the loan should be reduced. 6. I proposed him that the loan should be reduced. incorrect I proposed to him that the loan should be reduced. It might be better to use 'suggest' rather than 'propose'

Better choices: Would a discount apply since we're buying in such large quantities? He proposed that I work in Germany as a nurse. I proposed that he reduce the loan.

Sentence 1 is correct. You just don't say, "Would IT be a discount" in sentence 2. 3. He asked me to work in Germany as a nurse. 4. Huh? He suggested ....not sure what you're saying! 5. I asked him to reduce the loan. 6. I suggested to him that the loan should be reduced.
