So when you don't know the Vocabulary word for something or just forget it. You can use this expression. What do you call this? So again that do you become reduced. Do you becomes d'ya?

How do I get to (location) How do I get to for example: How do I get the station? How do I get to this hotel? Means.. What is the path I should take to arrive at that destination? How do I get to my house from here? How do I get the bar from here? How do I get to work from here? So how do I get to is a much more natural way to ask for directions to some place so don't use how do I go? or how do travel? But How do I get to ( location)? and don't forget your to also remember we use that preposition to before the specific place name so a problem that I hear a lot is How do I go there? So we don't use to before there because there is not a specific place. How do I get to the station? a station is a specific place or How do I get to the hotel? a hotel is a specific place. There is not a specific place so we cannot use to with there. 11. Have a nice evening! Have a nice evening is a way to say Goodbye at the end of the day. Many learners use Goodnight! All the end of the day like with coworkers or maybe leaving a restaurant like goodnight. We use goodnight when we're like saying goodbye to our kids or like when we're actually in bed like with a spouse or like your partner, or maybe you say it to your children or something like that? Goodnight, just before you go to sleep. When you want to say goodbye at the end of the day use Have a nice evening!. Have a good evening.. That’s a much more like natural and polite way to say goodbye at the end of the day. Have a nice evening 12. Have a good one! Have a good one means Have a good day So one here, It means day. Have a good day, or Have a good time or like Have a good experience until I see you again! Have a good one! or Have a nice one! Is kind of polite. I suppose you can use this with your coworkers with your friends with your family members 13. Can I have ( item) please? So when you are shopping you can use this request something from the person working at the store. Can I have that shirt please? Or Can I have for example: Can I have 200 grams of beef, please? Or Can I have that pack of cigarettes, please? So you can use any item in this pattern. Can I have that ( thing) , please? You can use singular you can use plural you can use a number here if you want. But can I have and to make this more natural not can I have that thing please? 14. (#) of the (noun), please. This is use again when shopping and maybe specifically when you're buying things in quantity, so that means for example, like when you're shopping for food, You maybe need to buy like fresh meat or a fresh meat or fresh fish for example and you want a certain quantity a certain amount of something you can use number of the noun please so used the example before like 200 grams of the beef please. So your buying things in bulk when you're buying in bulk. It means you're buying a lot of stuff at one time. You can use an expression like this of course, even if you're not buying in bulk, you can use this like 2 of the blue ones. So this is just simple pattern to use when shopping number of that noun please. 15. How do I (verb phrase)? Please how do I plus your verb phrase? So we talked about the expression? How do I get to place this is how do I? How do U get to (location)? How do I (get something)? So not yet.. But How do I and then use a verb here? So one thing I hear learners do when they don't know how to do something is they use an expression like.... Please teach me (verb phrase). This thing or I don’t know this. So make a request For someone to show you something you can use this pattern. How do I use this computer? How do I turn on this car? How do I sell my kidney on the internet? How do I learn English? That’s what a lot of people say just do it. It’s the answer. So how do I plus your verb? So that’s a much better way than please teach me. Use How do I learn English? How do I study grammar? How do I read books? So use just the simple present tense form of the verb. Another point to your pronunciation point.. How do I....? How do I...? How do I...? 16. How late are you open? This is very useful when you're visiting restaurant or bars or like retail shops as well the most natural way to ask what time a store or other Establishment finishes is how late are you open? How late are you open? So if you ask this question, you will get the closing time as the answer. Like....... How late are you open? 8. (We're open until) 8:00 How late are you open? 10 (We're open until) 10:00 How late are you open? (We're open until) midnight How late are you open? (We're open 24 hours. The internet is open forever. We have no closing time here at English Class101.com. Were accessible always, How late are you open ? So how late are you so that ru is reduced. How late are you open? Are you sounds like how late are you open? We do not say how late are you closed? We don’t say that . You could say that when do you close? That’s also okey. When do you close? 17. Do you have any plans for (point in time)? Point in time. Do you have any plans for?, Do you have any plans for this weekend? Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Do you have any plans for tomorrow night? Do you have any plans for dinner? So choose the point in time or kind of like I did with dinner you can use meals here to. Choose a point in time to ask another person schedule. Don’t forget for in this example. Do you have any plans for (point in time)? Do you have any plans for Sunday afternoon? Do you have any plans for Monday? So this is a quick way to ask about a schedule very nice and it's kind of polite as well. 18. My (body part) hurts. This is important and natural expression to use when you are not feeling well. So instead of like I have a pain in my arm or something or I have a pain somewhere I hear many learners use that pattern instead use my ( body part) hurts For example: My arm hurts, My head hurts, My finger hurts, My stomach hurts, My back hurts, My face hurts Have you ever punched yourself in the face? That’s the quickest way to explain that you do not feel well in some way.. My body part hurts.. My eyeball hurt.. My ear hurts, My throat hurts. 19. How much is this? This is coast related expression when you are shopping. How much is this? How much is that? You probably don’t need to use this so much because in most cases the price is clearly written in stores. But every once in a while you do need to ask or you need to like talk to someone about a price in a conversation. So how much is this or how much is that? You can change that? Of course , you can use the plural here. How much are these? How much are those in present tense? You can also ask about past tense information. How much was that? For Example: How much was your car? or How much was this apartment or How much were those donuts? It’s a very important question. How much did your sandwich coast you could ask that as well? It's another expression you can use. How much did your sandwich cost? Or How much for a dozen burgers to be sent to my office tomorrow at 1:00 pm? 20. What did you say? Native speakers use this all the time you can use this to please its important probably more important for you to use this expression and don’t feel bad about it. What did you say naturally? What did you say? What did you say? What did you say is say is a question about the thing the other person in the conversation? Just said like couldn’t catch it or you think you misheard something Or maybe you didn’t understand something. They said what did you say? It’s a little more polite than just what so what did you say? Anytime you need to confirm something that someone else said you can use.. What did you say.. Try to use a nice intonation with this also? What did you say? 21. What does that mean? Native speakers use this too? Like we don’t understand everything like sometimes everybody needs an explanation so what does that mean is a great way to ask for it. What does mean in fast speech is what does that mean? So the TH in that becomes like an S or a Z sound, what does that mean? So it connects to that sound it does what does that mean? So what does that mean? It's like you don’t understand something that’s written or maybe you don’t understand the implications. Implications means like the background information of the situation. So what does that mean or you don’t understand something someone else said? Burt they're gone. So you can't say what did you say? You asked someone else. What does that mean? What that person just said? What does that mean? 22. I don’t feel so good. So if you don’t want to specifically say like my stomach hurts or my arm hurts or my head hurts.. You can say I don’t feel so good. I don’t feel so good: Maybe you ate something bad. I don’t feel so good . We often use I don’t feel so good when we actually feel very suddenly like in the examples when we eat something and our body is not happy with it. And we suddenly feel sick . We might use this expression I don’t feel so good . I need to go home. So you can use this to talk about like a sudden and unpleasant feeling in your body. I don’t feel so good. 24. I have to (verb) I have to.. My previous one was I need to go a place if you want to just talk in general about the responsibilities you can use I have to.. I have to get up early in the morning I have to study for my test. I have to think of a new hairstyle for my cat. Yesterday , I had to buy new clothes because my director was making fun of me for wearing shirts that were falling apart on camera. Past tense .. I had to buy new clothes yesterday , or I had to go out in the rain yesterday. 23. I need to go to (location) I need to go to is useful about Aaron's. So Aaron's is like small task. You need to do throughout the day. We also use expression when we need to visit the restroom urgently so you can say I need to go the restroom. Otherwise when you're talking about daily task, you can say a I need to go to the bank, I need to go to the store, I need to go the car wash. You can talk your responsibilities with need.. You can substitute have-here I have to go to the bank. I have to go to the store. Keep in mind also when you want to use to use the negative form. I don’t have to or I don’t need to you can but make sure you use it with something. You don’t have responsibility to do I hear lots of learners use expression like I don’t have to go to the bar today, for example, If going to a bar is part of your regular responsibilities like your work at a bar or like part of your business is at a bar fine. But if it's something you occasionally do it sounds really unnatural to use. I don’t have to go the bar today. So we use this in the negative form for things we can naturally and reasonably be expected to have responsibility to do so keep that in mind when you use the negative form. 25. When we are leaving? Included this because it’s a common question surprisingly like when are we living not? When do we go? That’s one that I hear sometime like when do we go? or When we go? Or something like that, don’t use those. The question is When we are leaving? We use this when we're at an event? We're in the party, We're maybe at work whatever you're going somewhere else with another person or with a group. When are we leaving? When are we leaving this place? In other words so natural pronunciation? When we are leaving? When we are we leaving becomes? When are we leaving
