Today we will continue talking about asking for and giving directions. We 7 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:53.359 will also continue to practice present progressive form. Let's look at line one of 8 00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:00.679 our conversation. We see the word pay phone. What is a payphone? 9 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.879 A payphone is a public phone where you insert coins to make a call. 10 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:17.200 Payphones are not very common in America, but can be found more often in 11 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:26.000 other countries, such as Canada or England. The question in line one asks 12 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:36.120 is there a payphone near here? This is similar to the question where is 13 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:44.400 the payphone? Speaker A does not know if there is a payphone, which 14 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:51.200 is why the question is asked in this form. Similar to lesson ten, 15 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:59.000 you could ask the question like this, there's a payphone near here? Right, 16 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:07.840 Let's look at the answer in line too, Yes, it's outside the 17 00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:19.199 bank. This means the payphone is not in the bank. Inside and outside 18 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:30.280 are opposites. What is inside the bank? People or tellers are inside the 19 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:40.280 bank. Money is inside the bank. What is outside the bank? The 20 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:50.680 payphone is outside the bank. The cars are also outside the bank. We 21 00:02:50.840 --> 00:03:00.879 have inside and outside. These two words show location. Let's look at the 22 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:08.319 question in line three, which way is the bank? Now? Speaker A 23 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:17.719 knows where the payphone is. The payphone is outside the bank, But where 24 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:27.960 is the bank? Speaker B answers. Speaker B tells Speaker A that the 25 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:36.560 bank is close. It is near by. Let's read speaker bes answer, 26 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:45.120 Just go right around the corner and it's right there. Right there indicates near 27 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:52.879 by or close. In previous lessons, we talked about a different way to 28 00:03:52.919 --> 00:04:00.280 spell right, as in I write with a pen. We spell that right 29 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:10.520 W R I T E. How do we spell right as in the direction 30 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:23.240 R I G H T. Let's review our present progressive verb form. Where 31 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:31.199 is speaker A going? Speaker A is going to the payphone. Where is 32 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:40.519 the payphone? The payphone is at the bank. Now, where is the 33 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:48.920 speaker going? The speaker is going to the bank. Listen to this question 34 00:04:50.720 --> 00:05:00.480 what are you doing? You can answer this question using the present progressive verb 35 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:10.959 form. The question has are and doing both important parts of the present progressive 36 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:19.160 verb form. What are you doing? I am asking for directions? What 37 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:30.319 are you doing? I am giving directions? I am listening. Go practice 38 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:38.279 today's conversation with your conversation partner. Goodbye.
