Useful visit messages; optional yesterday practice

Say where you are today with am, is or are: We are at a guest house. Ask practical questions: What time is breakfast? Can I have a key? Optional extra: for yesterday, change I am to I was and we are to we were. You can practise this extra pattern, but past-tense accuracy is not a condition for completing the A1 outcome tasks.

Nhiệm vụ chính là hỏi thông tin và gửi tin nhắn hữu ích trong chuyến thăm. Was/were là phần mở rộng tùy chọn để nói hôm qua; độ chính xác thì quá khứ không phải điều kiện đạt đầu ra A1 ở bộ tài liệu này.

We are at Willow Guest House today.
What time do we need to leave the room?
Optional: Yesterday we were at the harbour.

Use: We are at the guest house. · Instead of: We is at the guest house.

Use are with we for the situation now.

Use: Optional: I was at the harbour yesterday. · Instead of: Optional: I were at the harbour yesterday.

In this extra past-time pattern, use was with I.

Make arrival, departure and meal times clear.

Pause after the day or time. Say the important place name again if your listener asks. For the optional past phrase, keep was with the place words.

Ngắt sau ngày hoặc giờ. Nhắc lại tên nơi khi người nghe cần. Nếu luyện câu quá khứ, nói liền was với cụm nơi chốn.
