Beginner English: Asking for Directions

lesson fifteen. Today we will learn about asking for and giving directions. Let's look at conversation fifteen, line two, Yes this is main street. Speaker B is answering a question positively yes this is. The negative answer would be no, this is not main street. We put not after the verb. Another way to answer would be no, this isn't main street, is and not combine to make the contraction isn't. Let's practice answering yes and no questions. Is this a shirt? Yes, this is negative answer, No this

is not. Is this your house? Yes this is negative answer, no this is not? Or no this isn't. Let's look at line four of

the conversation. Lights and right both follow the same spelling pattern. Remember when you see I g H, you pronounce it I. What is a light? A light tells the traffic when to go and when to stop. We use red for stop, yellow for slow, and green for go. Another way to say light is stop light or traffic light. Let's look at the last line of this conversation. Underground underground means below the ground. The opposite

is a of ground. How is ground spelled g r O U N d o U makes the sound how some other examples of words that have ow, our, mouse, how, and house. The ow sound is spelled o U mouse, m o U s e, how, c o u c h house h o U s e. Let's look at the last part of the last line. You'll see it. You'll is a contraction or you will will is used to talk about the future. You will see it in the future, you will see it soon, you will see it. Another example,

I will go to the train station tomorrow. I will go is for the future. You will eat pasta tomorrow. Will is for the future. Practice your conversation with your conversation partner goodbye.
