Step 2 · Let's Practise

Common difficulties

The parts learners usually find hard in this lesson.

Pronunciation: Polite, friendly tone

Chunks

In shops, cafés and stations, end your questions with a small rise ↗ and add 'please' / 'thank you'. It changes everything.

I'd like a coffee, please. ↗

How much is this? ↗

Could I have the bill? ↗

Which platform? ↗

Tricky ones — say it, then check

Recall

These are the parts beginners often get wrong.

Common difficulties

Practise

Slow down and choose carefully.

  1. Polite request: ___ I have water?

  2. Plural near you: ___ shoes

Answer, then check.

Step 3 · Let's Use It

Quick recap: there is/are + polite requests + questions

Strengthen the grammar from this lesson — a different route into it.

Quick explanation

  • How much are these jeans?

Notice

Read the sentences. What is the same in each one?
