Introduction
This
post is about giving information about facilities
in the vicinity, and more specifically about the availability of a
butchers
nearby.
SCENARIO
Imagine you are talking to a relative, a friend or a work colleague. The other person is looking for a butcher's shop. He/ she doesn't know the locality, but believes that you do and says to you something like: "is there a butchers around here?"
¿Hay
una carnicería por aquí?
OUR
TIP
The
question is an invitation for you to say whether or not there are any
butchers in the vicinity. A yes/no answer may be strictly
sufficient. However, with little effort, your answer could be a lot
more informative
Here
are some examples of how you could reply:
- Sí, hay una carnicería cerca de aquí (yes, there is a butchers near here)
- Sí, hay una carnicería bastante cerca (yes, there is a butchers quite near)
- Sí, hay una carnicería muy cerca (yes, there is a butchers very near)
- Sí, hay una carnicería a la vuelta de la esquina (yes, there is a butchers around the corner)
- Sí, hay una carnicería al otro lado de la calle (yes, there is a butchers on the other side of the street/ road)
- Sí, hay varias carnicerías bastante cerca (yes, there are several butchers quite near)
- No, por aquí no hay ninguna carnicería (no, there aren't any butchers around here)
- No, por aquí no hay carnicerías (no, there are no butchers around here)
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿Hay
una carnicería por aquí?
