SCENARIO
Imagine
you
are talking to a relative, a friend or colleague. Maybe you are now
living in different parts of the world and are comparing notes on the
cost of living. At some point, the other person
says to you something like: "how
much is a coffee?"
In
Spanish, the other person could say:
¿Cuánto
cuesta un café?
OUR
TIP
The question is an
invitation for you to say whether or not you know the price of a
coffee. 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 unas dos libras (I believe it costs around £2);
- Cuesta unas dos libras (it costs about £2);
- Cuesta dos libras (it costs £2);
- No sé cuanto cuesta un café (I don't know how much a coffee is);
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿Cuánto
cuesta un café?
