راهنمای فصل

مرور کلی

Starting your English journey is exciting, and we're here to make sure you can use it right away! Imagine stepping into a new place and needing to ask for help, buy something, or just say thank you. This chapter is your superpower for those everyday moments.
We're focusing on English survival & socializing for beginners, giving you the most important phrases to navigate new situations with confidence. You'll learn how to ask How much? for that tasty snack, use "I'd like...
to order your coffee, and find your way with
Where is...?
Plus, you’ll master the magic words
Excuse me,« »Sorry, and Thank you" to connect politely.
This isn't about perfect grammar; it's about getting things done and feeling understood. We know that as you learn English A0 grammar, your first goal is practical communication. Whether you need to ask for permission with «Can I...?» or need urgent help, these phrases are your foundation.
They're simple, powerful, and will make your first interactions in English smooth and successful. Let’s get you speaking from day one!

این گرامر چطور کار می‌کنه

At its heart, this chapter gives you direct, usable tools for common situations. We focus on simple questions and polite requests. For example, when you want to know the price of something, you'll use How much is...? for one item (like How much is *the apple*?) or How much are...? for many items (like How much are *the apples*?).
The key is matching is or are to what you're asking about.
When you want to order something in a café or shop, or make any polite request, you’ll use I'd like.... It's short for I would like and sounds much more polite than just I want. So, you’d say I'd like *a coffee, please*. It’s friendly and respectful.
For finding your way, the phrase Where is...? is super simple and effective. You just add the place or thing you're looking for: Where is *the station*? or Where is *my phone*?
Politeness is crucial, and English has specific words for that. You say Excuse me to get someone’s attention or before you pass by them. If you accidentally bump into someone or make a small mistake, you say Sorry.
And for everything good, a simple Thank you shows appreciation. Finally, for permission, Can I...? is your go-to phrase (like Can I *sit here*?). If you're in danger or need urgent help, shout Help!.
For less urgent assistance, say Can you help me?. These phrases are your basic toolkit for navigating the English-speaking world.

سؤالات رایج

Q

How to use How much in English when asking for a price?

Use How much is...? for a single item (e.g., *How much is the bread?*) and How much are...? for multiple items (e.g., *How much are the bananas?*).

Q

What is the difference between I like and "I'd like" in English?

I like expresses a general preference or enjoyment (e.g., *I like coffee*). I'd like (short for I would like) is a polite way to request or order something specific right now (e.g., *I'd like a coffee*).

Q

When do I say Excuse me versus Sorry?

Use Excuse me to get someone's attention, to ask someone to move, or before you interrupt them. Use Sorry after you've made a mistake, bumped into someone, or done something wrong.

Q

Is «Can I...?» always okay for asking permission?

Yes, Can I...? is the most common and natural way to ask for permission in everyday, informal English conversations. It's polite enough for most situations.

بافت فرهنگی

In English-speaking cultures, these simple phrases are very powerful! Saying Please and Thank you is expected and shows good manners, even for very basic interactions. Using "I'd like... instead of I want..." automatically makes you sound more polite and friendly.
Similarly, starting a question with Excuse me before asking Where is...? or «Can I...?» is a small but important courtesy that native speakers appreciate. While not strictly grammar, these politeness markers are a huge part of effective English survival & socializing for beginners.

سوالات رایج (6)

Yes, if you are pointing at an item, saying How much? is perfectly natural and understood in casual shopping.
In English grammar, 'money' is an uncountable noun. You count 'dollars' or 'coins', but you don't count 'moneys'. Therefore, we use How much.
Yes, the meaning is the same, but I'd like is much more polite and suitable for public places.
Yes, but it sounds very formal. In normal conversation, almost everyone says I'd like.
خیلی ساده‌ست! Excuse me رو *قبل* از اینکه مزاحم کسی بشی می‌گی، ولی Sorry رو *بعد* از اینکه اشتباهی کردی. مثلاً:
Excuse me, can I pass?
بله! Thanks صمیمی‌تره و بین دوست‌ها خیلی رایجه. ولی Thank you همیشه و همه‌جا مودبانه‌ست.
