What?

Hello everyone!

Today we had our lesson about: what?

Questions that we can make to ask, as kindly as possible, people to 'repeat' an information.

So, we have talked about the proposed video and its seven ways to ask 'what did you say?'

1) What? [unformal, casual, applied specially to ask quikly about a short information]

2) What'd you say? [is the same of 'what did you say?', also informal]

3) Could you say that again (please, more slowly, more clearly)?[more polite form]

4) Come again? [very specifc language expression, also unformal]

5) Sorry, I didn't understand that. [It is an affirmative sentence that inform  you need something to be told again]

6) Sorry, I didn't catch that. [Similar to the statement above, unformal]

7) I beg your pardon? [That sounds like 'Sorry or excuse me' when used in affirmative form, but the correct use is the interrogative form, that shows you didn't understand something]

To be polite, ask using 'please, sorry, excuse me'.
Task: Can you tell us another ways to ask -  'what'd you say?'


The second part of our class was a reading time. Ana, Joelma and Raquel read three short news. You can find them at: https://www.newsinlevels.com/
Texts: British Pompeii; Fire in São Paulo; British Royal Babies

After reading them, you can listen to the news and practice the speach!!
