ASKING FOR HELP

Sorry, Can you say that again?

ask for help when you don't understand

Can these situations be a problem? Why?

Someone is speaking too fast.Someone is using words that you don't know. You understand the general idea about what someone says but not everything. You think you understand something but you are not sure. You don't want to say that you haven't understood something.

Why do you think it is important to ask for help when you don't understand something?

Could you speak more slowly, please?

I don't understand what the word means.

When do you say these phrases?Give examples.

Let me check I've got this right.

Could you say that again, please?

Imagine and think

You have just moved in a new house in a new neighbourhood. You need to go to a supermarket but you can't see any around you. You have asked an old lady to tell you how to go there but she is speaking so fast that you don't understand anything. What do you say?

Imagine and think

You have learned how to talk about past actions that happened before another action happened, the past perfect. You have understood the topic well but you are not totally sure. So you say "____, I can use past perfect to say what I had done before I went to bed yesterday, right?"

Imagine and think

Your friend has just created an account on Instagram. She takes nice pictures but she doesn't know how to upload them. She has called you to ask about it but you haven't understood what she said. What do you say?

Imagine and think

Your friend is telling you a story about his childhood. He is joking about how he made his parents angry all the time. He said he was a naughty boy. But you didn't understand what naughty is. What do you say?

Nice job!
