In a café, on a bus or at the doctor's, you need a sentence now, not a rule. This sheet gives you ready-made polite phrases for ten everyday situations, each with a translation in your language.

The first phrase in every group comes with a short dialogue between A and B, so you can see how the sentence is answered. Read both parts aloud, then cover one side and answer from memory.
