Finding Exact Information

What are we learning today?

You will learn how to find exact information in a short conversation.

Explanation

• Question words tell you what to find: who, what, when, why.
• Underline the question word.
• Look for the same idea in the answer.
• Be careful with two speakers and two times. Do not mix them.

Examples

1. Fran: Can we go to the cinema this evening? Dad: No, sorry.
2. Why not? - Because your uncle and aunt are here this evening.
3. Can we go on Saturday then, please? - Yes, you can.

Remember!

• When asks for a time.
• Why asks for a reason.
