Unit 6: Going Shopping
Summary: At the Clothes Shop
Key points
- Clothes: sweater, blazer, vest, tie, T-shirt, dress, jeans, scarf.
- We try on clothes in the fitting room.
- The shop assistant asks: Can I help you? What size are you?
- Jeans, trousers and shoes are plural: How much are they? Can I try them on?
- Big numbers: 120 = one hundred and twenty; 300 = three hundred (no -s).
Rules to remember
Try on
Can I try it on? (one thing) / Can I try them on? (jeans, shoes).
Size
Small, medium, large. It’s too big / too small.
Simple past
find ➡️ found, pay ➡️ paid, try ➡️ tried, see ➡️ saw.
How to do it
- Greet the assistant and say what you want.
- Ask the price.
- Ask to try it on.
- Say if it is too big or too small.
- Pay and say thank you.
Example
How much is this sweater? — It’s sixty-five dinars. Can I try it on?
