fourteen. Today we will continue talking about asking for and giving directions. We will also continue to practice present progressive form. Let's look at line one of our conversation. We see the word pay phone. What is a payphone? A payphone is a public phone where you insert coins to make a call. Payphones are not very common in America, but can be found more often in other countries, such as Canada or England. The question in line one asks
is there a payphone near here? This is similar to the question where is the payphone? Speaker A does not know if there is a payphone, which is why the question is asked in this form. Similar to lesson ten, you could ask the question like this, there's a payphone near here? Right, Let's look at the answer in line too, Yes, it's outside the bank. This means the payphone is not in the bank. Inside and outside are opposites. What is inside the bank? People or tellers are inside the
bank. Money is inside the bank. What is outside the bank? The payphone is outside the bank. The cars are also outside the bank. We have inside and outside. These two words show location. Let's look at the question in line three, which way is the bank? Now? Speaker A knows where the payphone is. The payphone is outside the bank, But where is the bank? Speaker B answers. Speaker B tells Speaker A that the bank is close. It is near by. Let's read speaker bes answer,
Just go right around the corner and it's right there. Right there indicates near by or close. In previous lessons, we talked about a different way to spell right, as in I write with a pen. We spell that right W R I T E. How do we spell right as in the direction R I G H T. Let's review our present progressive verb form. Where is speaker A going? Speaker A is going to the payphone. Where is the payphone? The payphone is at the bank. Now, where is the
speaker going? The speaker is going to the bank. Listen to this question what are you doing? You can answer this question using the present progressive verb form. The question has are and doing both important parts of the present progressive verb form. What are you doing? I am asking for directions? What are you doing? I am giving directions? I am listening.
