hi everyone my name is Bridget and
welcome to today's lesson the topic for this lesson is top 15 must know phrases
to go shopping how much is it how much is it when you ask how much something is
you are asking for the price so if you are in America and you say how much is
it someone will say it is $10 it is a thousand dollars it is a million dollars
so you are going to use this phrase a lot when you go shopping especially at
flea markets when the prices aren't always listed on the object or item
themselves do you have this in another color do you have this in another color
a lot of times when you go clothing shopping for example you will try
something on and you'll like how you look but you kind of want the shirt to
be not green but maybe red red would look better so you ask the person who's
working there excuse me do you have this in another color do you have this in
another color it's a way of asking literally if the item of the clothing
that you are trying on or anything that you want to buy you're asking if there
are other variations of it if there are other colors of that item do you have
this in a medium do you have this in a medium instead of medium you can put in
whatever your size is so when you're shopping you might find a dress that you
really like you might find a jacket or a coat you really like and you're not
really seeing your size you're looking through all of them and your size isn't
here so you ask someone who's working excuse me do you have this in a
medium excuse me do you have this in an extra-small
I use this all the time when I'm shopping so I'm sure you will too it's a
way of asking if they have your size I want two of these I want two of these if
you tell someone I want two of these it's literally saying I want two of
whatever it is you want to buy that's all I can say about that may I see it
may I see it if you ask may I see it it's usually asking to see something
that is behind glass so for example if you are looking to buy jewelry you go to
a jewelry store and you see a beautiful ring and it's behind glass so you ask
the person working there may I see this ring may I see it and the person will
pull it out and give it to you for you to try on in front of them so they know
you're not going to steal it can I try it on can I try it on if you're ever
shopping if you're looking for a new sweater or a new pair of jeans you're
going to want to try it on to make sure that it fits you that it looks good that
it's your size so if you find an article of clothing you would go up to someone
who works there and you would ask can I try this on excuse me can I try this on
this is a very very common thing that you hear in clothing stores people
always want to try on the clothing that they want to buy just to make sure that
it fits and it makes them look good I like that one I like that one I like
that one if you say I like that one it means you're expressing which of your
options you prefer it's probably going to be the one thing you buy I don't like
this color I don't like this color if you're buying a new set of plates and
you're shopping and you you like the style of these plates but you don't like
color you would say I don't like this color do you have this in a different
color I just taught you that do you remember I don't like this color it
means that you like the style maybe but you don't like the color that it's
painted or dyed or whatever I love this color I love this color maybe you have a
color of shirt that you look so good in so anytime you see it you go oh I love
this color if you ever say I love this color it's
probably something that either looks really good on you or just looks really
good to you it's a color that you just love to look at
do you take returns do you take returns when you ask someone who works in a
store do you take returns it means that you
bought something from the store you brought it home and you decided you
don't really like it maybe when you were at the store you didn't have time to try
it on so when you got home you put it on in front of the mirror and you realize
this does not look good on me or maybe it doesn't fit so when you come back
you'd say do you take returns I want to return this pair of these jeans that I
bought I want to return this hat do you take returns every store you go to will
have a different return policy so it's always smart to ask what sort of return
policy that store has just in case you end up not liking the item that you buy
do you take credit cards do you accept credit cards can I pay with a credit
card these are all ways to ask if you can use your credit card to pay for
whatever purchase you are making sometimes stores or restaurants only
accept cash and it's always smart to know ahead of time before you do all
your shopping and realize you don't have any cash and you
only have a credit card so you can say do you take credit card do you accept
credit cards can I pay with my credit card can I get a receipt please
can I get a receipt please can I get my receipt please so I know you didn't scam
me a receipt is a proof of purchase it's it's something that you use to keep
track of the money you've spent to keep track of everything you've bought little
slip of paper that shows the item and how much you paid this is something that
helps both you and the company the company will have a record of having
sold this thing to you and you will have this as a record of how much you paid
and if you save the receipt you can use that to do returns can I use this coupon
can I use this coupon a coupon is a discount that a company offers to use at
their store a coupon is something that you have to show to the cashier when you
make your purchase so if you find a nice coat that you love you would go and pay
for it and present your coupon if you have a coupon it means that you are
getting a discount that you will have to pay less money for the item coupons are
great to have and companies that give out coupons are awesome it helps you
save money could you gift wrap it please could you gift wrap it please to gift
wrap something means to put wrapping paper and make it look like a present so
around the holidays when people are buying presents for one another a lot of
times you will hear people saying could you gift wrap it please which is telling
the other person look this is going to be a gift can you make it look nice can
you make it look like a present and sometimes I don't mean gift wrapping
paper or putting a nice bow on top to gift wrap something means to present it
to look like a gift Arthur any sales going on are there any sales
going on this is a very hopeful question to ask in a store you're asking if there
are any sales at this time a sale is a period of time with discounted price it
means you are going to pay less which means saving money there are seasonal
sales there are sales for particular holidays or just random sales to get rid
of old stock so you never know you should always ask are there any sales
going on because it might save you money and that brings us to the end of today's
