Find the right item and ask how to pay in a clothes shop.

The idea

Ask How much is this? for the price and Do you have a smaller size? for another size. Can I try it on? asks permission to put on the item before deciding. If you need a place to change, ask for the changing rooms. At payment, ask Can I pay by card?

Examples

  • How much is this jacket?
  • Do you have a smaller size?
  • Can I try it on?
  • Where are the changing rooms?
  • Can I pay by card?
  • No bag, thank you.

Watch out

Try it on means put clothing on to check its fit; try it alone can also mean test or taste something. Sizes can vary between shops and countries.
