Answer 1

If you are also interested in the light gray background, you might find one of the two following methods useful:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{xcolor} % For the first and second example
\definecolor{mylightgray}{RGB}{239,240,241}
\usepackage{soul} % For the second example
\sethlcolor{mylightgray}

\begin{document}
My parents gave me some money. I walked in the shop and \colorbox{mylightgray}{\texttt{found some sweets}} that I liked. I decided to buy them.

My parents gave me some money. I walked in the shop and \hl{\texttt{found some sweets}} that I liked. I decided to buy them.
\end{document}

Please note that the first example will not allow line breaks inside of the gray box.
