Asking Questions About a Job

What are we learning today?

You will learn to ask polite questions to get information about a job.

Explanation

• Start with a polite sentence: "Can I ask you about the job?"
• Use What does + a person + verb: "What does your mother do?"
• Use What time to ask about time.
• Use How much with money: "How much money do I get?"
• Use How many with things you can count: "How many hours do you work?"
• Listen to the answer. Then ask one more question.

Examples

1. What exactly is the job?
2. What time do I start and finish?
3. What does your father do?

Remember!

• Say "What does your mother do?" Do not say "What your mother do?"
• Say "How much money", not "How many money".
