SCENARIO
Imagine
you
are in a bar somewhere in Spain with a group of relatives, friends or
colleagues. You have had some food and drinks. You have asked for the
bill and the waiter has given it to you. Someone from your group
wants to know how much it is
and says to you something like: "how
much is the bill?"
In
Spanish, the other person could choose to say:
¿Cuánto
es la cuenta?
OUR
TIP
The question is an
invitation for you to state how much the bill is. You don't need to
be concerned about anything else, other than saying how much the bill
was. Basically, the bill could be either:
- A round figure in Euros;
- An amount consisting of Euros and cents;
Here are some
examples of how you could reply, which deal with a variety of
possible situations:
- Es un euro (it is one Euro);
- Es un euro veinticinco (it is 1.25 Euros);
- Son veintiséis euros (it is 26 Euros);
- Son veintiocho euros treina y cinco céntimos (it is 28.35 Euros);
Now
you should practice answering the question:
¿Cuánto
es la cuenta?
