Common difficulties

The parts learners usually find hard in this lesson.

Pronunciation: Numbers & gates

Polite requests for travel

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

Quick explanation

Understand

At the airport and hotel use polite phrases: 'Could I have…?', 'Is there…?', 'Where is…?', 'How much…?' These are friendly and useful in many situations.

  • Could I have a window seat, please?
  • Where is gate 14?
  • Is there Wi-Fi in the room?

Notice the pattern

Notice

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

  • Could I have a window seat, please?
  • Where is gate 14?
  • Is there Wi-Fi in the room?
  • How much is breakfast?

Choose the right form
