Welcome to Unit 3! In this unit, we will talk about shopping. Let’s start by learning how to ask about prices and give your opinion about things.
1
Asking the Price
To ask how much something costs, we use “How much”:
Example
How much is it? It’s 50 dirhams.
How much are they? They’re 100 dirhams.
How much is it? It’s 50 dirhams.
How much are they? They’re 100 dirhams.
Remember
One thing → “is”. More than one thing → “are”.
لنسأل عن سعر شيء، نستخدم “How much”. لشيء واحد نستخدم “is” (How much is it?)، ولأكثر من شيء نستخدم “are” (How much are they?).

Asking for an Opinion
To ask what someone thinks about something, we can say:
Example
What do you think of this shirt?
Do you like this bag?
What do you think of this shirt?
Do you like this bag?
لنسأل شخصا عن رأيه في شيء ما، نقول: “What do you think of this shirt?” (ما رأيك في هذا القميص؟) أو “Do you like this bag?” (هل تحب هذه الحقيبة؟).
