Very Informal Structures
If you are asking a friend or family member for information, use a direct question.
Simple Question Structure: Wh? + Helping Verb + Subject + Verb

Where does she live?
More Formal Structures
Use these forms for simple, everyday questions in stores, with colleagues at work, and
in other informal situations.
Structure: Pardon me / Excuse me + Can / Could you tell me + Wh? + Subject +
verb?
Can you tell me when the train arrives?
Pardon me, could you tell me how much the book costs?
Formal and More Complicated Questions

Saying No
Informal
Sorry, I can't help you out.
Sorry, but I don't know that.
That's beyond me, sorry.
More Formal
I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that question.
I'd like to help you. Unfortunately, I don't have that information / don't know.
, We use the imperative form to give orders or directions in English.
“Eat your vegetables!”
“Turn left and go straight on.”
We can also use the imperative form to give a warning or advice, and to
make a request.
“Practise English for ten minutes a day!”
“Be careful!”
To make the imperative, use the infinitive of the verb without ‘to’:
“Come here!”
“Sit down!”
To make a negative imperative, put “do not” or “don’t” before the verb.
“Don’t go!”
“Do not walk on the grass.”
Giving instructions
sequencing” words
There are often “sequencing” words to show the steps in the process. For example, “firstly”,
“secondly” and “finally”.
Simple instructions to replace a light bulb
Firstly, turn off the electricity.
Secondly, remove the light bulb.
Then, screw in the new light bulb.
Finally, turn the electricity on and switch on the light.
You can also say “after that” instead of “then” and “first” / “second” instead of “firstly”
and “secondly”.
Giving extra help
When you give instructions, you can help the other person with extra information and
advice.
