you've arrived at your hotel and are
almost ready to relax after your long
trip but the person at the front desk
only speaks english how do you check in
hi alicia here checking in at a hotel in
english is easy in this lesson you'll
learn how
gustavo just arrived at his hotel in new
york let's watch
good evening sir hi
my name is gustavo silva i have a
reservation
thank you very much mr silva could you
spell your name please
s-i-l-v-a
thank you
ah yes mr silva here's your room key
is there a shop in this hotel
no but there's a small grocery store in
the next building
and is there any shampoo or conditioner
in the room yes sir
thank you
oh and a wake up call please
of course what time at seven but what
time is breakfast
from 6 to 7 30 a.m
in the dining room on the first floor
now the lesson focus here's how to check
in at a hotel ready
do you remember the first thing gustavo
said to the hotel clerk in the scene
after he introduces himself
i have a reservation
first is the phrase
i have next is the phrase
a reservation
together it's
i have a reservation
use this expression to indicate that
you've reserved a room in advance
you can also use this phrase in other
situations where you made a reservation
such as at a restaurant
now you try
imagine you have just come to a
restaurant where you've made a
reservation
what would you say
i have a reservation
now imagine you've booked a rental car
online and you're checking in to pick up
your car what would you say
i have a reservation
do you remember how gustavo asked if the
hotel has a shop
is there a shop in this hotel
first is the phrase
is there
and next is the phrase
a shop
last is the phrase
in this hotel
together it's
is there a shop in this hotel
this structure allows you to easily ask
if something is nearby or in a
particular location
start your question with
is there
and then insert something you are
looking for
finally add a location
now you try
imagine you're checking into a hotel
and want to know if there's an atm in
the hotel
what would you say
is there an atm in this hotel
now imagine you're in a shopping mall
and want to find out if there's a coffee
shop in the mall
what would you say
is there a coffee shop in this mall
do you remember how gustavo asks if
there is shampoo or conditioner in the
room
is there any shampoo or conditioner in
the room
first is the phrase
is there any
next is the phrase
shampoo or conditioner
and last is the phrase
in the room together it's
is there any shampoo or conditioner in
the room
this phrase structure is very similar to
the one we just learned except the word
any is used to refer to uncountable
nouns such as shampoo water or bread
the structure is
is there any
followed by the item and location
now you try
imagine you're checking into a hotel
and you want to know if there is bottled
water in the room
what would you say
is there any bottled water in the room
imagine you're baking cookies and you
want to know if there's any milk in the
refrigerator
what would you say
is there any milk in the refrigerator
