courtesy formulas are always used but there are almost always
problems with pronunciation since we do not say them correctly, we
start with the first one:
Excuse me, we use this phrase both as a question and as an affirmation, to which
we must use it with the tone of voice that it needs because if it is a question but
we say it with an affirmative tone of voice, they will ask us why, so we must do it
with him. tone of voice is correct. example:
"sorry to bother you"
EXAMPLE: Example:
apples dogs
cars chairs
dogs theories
buildings papers
stars clocks
Qualifyling adjectives of physical description and the
intendifier “very”
VERY:
Very is used most adjectives and adverbs and before few and Little. Very cannot be used
before comparative adjectives or adverbs. In this case much should be used. We use very
to emphazise both positive and negative situations. Sometimes we use it when we want
to avoid some negative word. Likewise, we use the really or quite intensifiers in the vast
majority of scenarios.
EXAMPLE:
Very few people agree with her
We were very happy about the good news
I am very sad
Everyone is very angry with him
Possessive adjectives and pronouns
The first we need to know about these types of questions is that they cannot be answered with YES or
NO. these questions are used to find out specific information. For example: if someone asks us the
following question. Where did you go after the concert?
In no way could answer simply by saying YES or NO because our answer would not make sense. To
answer that question adequately, we need to give specific information or refer directly to the question.
Example of appropriate responses:
I wnet home
To the disco
Don’t ask me that, please
EXAMPLE:
WHICH SHIRT ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR TO THE SHOW?
WHERE DID YOU BUY THIS BAG?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?
WHY DOES SHE LOOK SO SAD?
WHEN WILL YOU SING THOSE DOCUMENTS?
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO ARRIVE TO THE PARTY?
HOW MUCH COFFE DID THEY DRINK?
WHERE ARE THE RESTROOMS?
