If you are a shopping fanatic and often travel abroad, don't forget to pocket the following useful phrases! You will definitely have to use them regularly!
If you need help in a store, say this to ask the staff for help.
"Can you help me? I can not find what I want"
"Excuse me, can you help me?"
After asking for help, describe to the employee what you are looking for using this sentence pattern.
"Excuse me, I am looking for a winter coat"
"I am looking for a red hat. Can you help me?"
This question is used when you are satisfied with the style of this item but want to find a color and size that suits your preferences. Another way to express this sentence is "Does this come in a different color/size?" (Is this available in other colors/sizes?).
Example: "I do not like this shade of red. Do you have this in a different color?"
"Does this bowl come in a different color? This will not match my kitchen"
Sizes for clothes and items can vary from country to country, so many people don't know exactly what size is right for them. At that time, you can completely ask the staff for support by saying this.
"I do not know my size. Can you help me?"
"I want to buy a shirt, but I do not know my size"
It's still the same sentence about size, but in this sentence, the information is more specific when you can describe the exact size of the item you want to buy.
Chẳng hạn: "I need this in a size 10, please"
"This is too large. I need this in a size 5"
"Where can I find this?", this sentence is used when you know what you want to buy but don't know where it is sold?
Example: "Customer: Where can I find black olives?"
“Sales clerk: They are on aisle ten, near the pickles"
After finding the item you want to buy, an indispensable question is to ask the price. You can also change the word "this" to another object name.
"I need to buy a toaster. How much does this cost?"
"How much does this shirt cost?
When buying items that are too large or heavy to carry home yourself, you will use this question to ask if the store has a shipping service.
"This refrigerator is perfect! Can I have this delivered?"
"Can I have this delivered next Tuesday?"
