SCENARIO
Imagine
you
are talking to a relative, a friend or colleague. Maybe you are
talking about flying out to New York. The other person
is curious about the cost of that flight and says to you something
like: "how
much is the air fare?"
In
Spanish, the other person could say:
¿Cuánto
cuesta el viaje en avión?
OUR
TIP
The question is an
invitation for you to say whether or not you know the price of the
airfare in question. Your reply depends on whether you want to say
that you:
- Believe you know roughly the price;
- Know roughly the price;
- Know the correct price;
- Don't know the price;
Here are some
examples of how you could reply:
- Creo que cuesta unos ciento veinte dólares (I believe it costs around US$120);
- Cuesta unos ciento veinte dólares (it costs about US$120);
- Cuesta ciento veinte dólares (it costs US$120);
- No sé cuanto cuesta el viaje en avión (I don't know how much the airfare is);
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿Cuánto
cuesta el viaje en avión?
