If you don't do it, you must do it, so how long do you have to wait? It feels like you're being forced to do it like this. Hello, this is Selly. Today, let's learn expressions that can be useful in conversations at restaurants. You can tell right away that it will be useful, right? Let's get started. The first sentence is How long do I have to wait? We can ask about the expected waiting time at a restaurant. I briefly mentioned this in another video. When you ask, How long do I have to wait? it implies a sense of obligation that you must do it, so how long do you have to wait exactly? It feels like you're being very specific. Therefore, in English, you should say, Do I have to wait long? This expression is grammatically correct, but in terms of tone and expression, it may not be familiar to native speakers.

It could sound a bit uncomfortable, so please practice attaching it twice. Don't forget to talk about the duty that is not an obligation. You should write in a form that conveys the nuance of regret about the duty that was not obligatory. Using the perfect tense, with have, you express regret about the duty that was not obligatory. Therefore, you should say I should matervation, I should matervation. When you write your name, we will call you when the table is ready. This is the expression, right? When you write your name, sometimes customers write it themselves, or sometimes we directly ask. Can I have your name? and write it down. In any case, when asking someone to write, have you heard of right down? How do you write it down? You write it down like this. So, when you say right down something, it's not important where you write it, but the action of writing. You don't need to write where to write it. You should say, right your name down, right down your name. But it's not just that.

When you just write your name, usually it should be followed by on that paper or something like that, depending on where it is written, it should come naturally afterwards. So when I ask you to just write it here, it will be fine. I will call you when the table is ready. Now, starting from calling you, if you want to use call you, it is commonly used in phone conversations. When calling out a name, using call your name sounds more natural. It means to summon someone to come. So, in this case, if I just want to call out your name, you can say call your name. When you want to address someone as you, you can use the form call for you. Therefore, here, you can say call your name or call for you. In reality, these situations can often lead to misunderstandings. The listener may think, Do you have a table in mind? This is how it goes.

In a restaurant, when a table is ready, you can ask if it's always this crowded. First, let's start with There are always many people. When introducing a place, we use There are in the plural form, so it becomes There are always many people. However, when saying it's this crowded, you need to point out this before the noun. So, it becomes There are always this many people. When asking, you can use Are there, that's how you should do it. Or you can use the adjective busy to describe the place is crowded, so the advice always comes with a location. Therefore, you can talk about a restaurant or where you are referring to. Isn't it always crowded like this? It's usually busy on weekends.

If I say I'm busy, it means the weekend is busy, so when you use we can, you should use the subject. When generalizing like this, don't just write it, use the plural form. I've mentioned it a few times. Since I'm referring to all weekends when I say weekend, you can also say We are busy by saying that our restaurant is busy on weekends. So, saying We are busy instead of just talking about one weekend. Generalizing about all weekends is done in the plural form, so you should write it like that. Therefore, you should say we can instead of week Anger your busy where you. I'll come back during the week. Now, there are some points that I didn't think about here. Well, when you say I will be back, you can think of it as coming back healthily. But if you write Come back here, it means you will return shortly, not that you will try again on another day.

To make it more natural, use on weekdays instead. When you say that, it means Monday through Friday. Instead of saying on weekdays, use the singular form when referring to a specific day of the week. By doing so, you are giving instructions to the guest in a way that won't cause any issues. So, please follow this guideline. If you follow this format, it will be easier for the guest to understand. Then, challenge yourself to immerse in English learning. You can encounter unique content that you won't find anywhere else. Especially if there is something memorable, please leave a comment. Writing it down again helps it stick in your memory longer. If you haven't subscribed yet, please subscribe and turn on notifications to receive new videos promptly. I will see you in the next video. Goodbye.
