Can you remember what language Angela uses to ask for information?
Can you remember how Serena responds to those questions?
To ask for information:- Question words: When? Where? How much/many/often/far?- Modal verbs: Can, Could, Would, May…?
– I’d like…
In order to give information we can use:
– There is/are/was/were/will…
– It is/was/will/can/could…
– I’ll/We’ll…
– That would…
– We/I can/could/have/give/deal with/cater for…
Some expressions that keep the conversation going and link the questions and answers are:
That depends on….
Uh, excuse me…
Oh, that…
Excellent…
I’m afraid…
Well, in fact…
Thank you.
Of course,…
Sure…
