In this beginner English lesson you will watch people ask questions using "where is" and listen as they receive directions.
Tourist: Excuse me, sir. I’m a little lost, could you help me out?
Man: Sure.
Sure/ means OK or no problem.
What can I do?
T: Well, I’m looking for the Capital. Is it far?
M: Not far at all.
Not far at all/means very close.
Let me see your map. You’re here right now…go along Beacon Street for two blocks and the State House is on your left.
T: Great, thanks. Is there anything else I should see while I’m there?
M: Sure, take a walk through the old streets and shops. Louisburg Square is quite nice, too.
T: I think I know where that is. Close to Mount Vernon Street, right?
When we need confirmation, we often put /right?/at the end of a sentence and use a rising intonation.
M: Right. And be sure to walk along the river. You’ll find that this city is a great one to walk through.
In a reply, /right/means correct or yes.
T: Thanks for all your help. This city seems like a really friendly place.
Seems/ means appears to be or looks.
Everyone is so nice.
M: Well, I’m glad you think so. Just go straight and you’ll see the State House.
Can you remember any other expressions for giving directions?
T: Thanks again for your help!
