    1. VICKY: Hey, Oksana, will you be in town this weekend?

    2. OKSANA: Yeah, I'm not going anywhere in particular. Why, what's up?

    3. VICKY: Well, have you heard about the study abroad information session at
    the student union? I think it's this Saturday.

    4. OKSANA: Oh yeah, I remember seeing a flyer on the bulletin board. I thought


    it looked interesting…are you planning on studying somewhere?

    5. VICKY: Well, I'm interested in going to Germany since I'm learning


    German.

    6. OKSANA: Oh that's right, I remember you complaining about a class last


    semester…did you pass the class in the end?

    7. VICKY: Barely. That's why I want to study in Germany, because I'll never be
    able to speak it if I don't go!

    8. OKSANA: That's a great idea! It'll definitely help you improve; it's helped me at
    least. And it's really exciting to live in another country! Is there any
    particular part you want to go to?

    9. VICKY: Well, I have some relatives living in Berlin, and they tell me about it
    all the time.

    10. OKSANA: Well, wherever you go, I bet you'll find it worthwhile. So, sure! Let's
    go to the information session.

    11. VICKY: Great! I'll let you know once I find out the time.

    VOCABULARY PHRASE USAGE

    Let's take a look at the phrase "I bet." We often use this phrase in English to mean "I'm sure."

    ENGLISHCLASS101.COM BEGINNER S1 #20 - YES, I WILL COME WITH YOU 4


    Oksana says to Vicky, "Well, wherever you go, I bet you'll find it worthwhile," which means that
    she's sure Vicky will find her experience abroad worth it. The word "bet" means to place
    something at stake; therefore, when we use it in such an expression, it shows that the person is
    sure enough to risk a bet on it. Here's another example: "I bet the food in that restaurant is
    delicious: it's always so crowded." The person is saying that although he/she has never been
    to that restaurant, he/she is sure that the food is good.

    GRAMMAR

    The Focus of This Lesson Is Yes-No Questions


    "Will you be in town this weekend?"

    There are different ways to ask questions, and sometimes we ask questions that only require a
    yes or no answer. There are two ways of asking such questions in English: one way is to use an
    existing auxiliary verb in the statement form of the question, and another way is to add the
    auxiliary verb "do."

    Let's take a look at the first formation. We place auxiliary verbs such as "be," "can," "may," and
    "have" that are in the statement form of a sentence in front of the sentence to form a yes/no
    question.

    For Example:

    1. "Will you be in town this weekend?"

    The statement form of this sentence is "You will be in town this weekend," which means that
    "will" is the auxiliary verb in the sentence. That means that we need to move "will" to the
    beginning of the sentence in order to form the question "Will you be in town this weekend?"

    Here's another example to clarify this formation.

    For Example:

    1. "Have you heard about the study abroad information session at the student union?"

    Again, we need to create the statement form of this sentence, which is "You have heard about
    the study abroad information session at the student union," and then take the auxiliary verb
    "have" and place it at the beginning of the sentence. See Beginner Series, Season 1, Lesson
    19 for more on auxiliary verbs.

    Now here's another sentence.

    For Example:

    ENGLISHCLASS101.COM BEGINNER S1 #20 - YES, I WILL COME WITH YOU 5


    1. "Did you pass the class in the end?"

    In this question, the statement would be "You passed the class in the end," which means that
    there is no auxiliary verb. Therefore, we must add on and change the auxiliary verb "do"
    according to the tense of the sentence. This is an example in the past tense; therefore, we
    change "do" into "did."

    Here's another question in the same structure.

    For Example:

    1. "Does he know who Audrey is?"

    As you can see in this example, the statement is "He knows where Audrey is," and it does not
    have an auxiliary verb. Therefore, we add the verb "do" onto the beginning of the question
    while using the present tense. See Beginner Series, Season 1, Lesson 9 for more on the
    simple present.

    Intonation Tip

    Generally when asking questions, both constructions require the speaker to raise his/her
    intonation up slightly at the end.

    CULTURAL INSIGHT

    You're Leaving the Country to Study Somewhere Else?

    Many university students may choose to go abroad to study in a different country. They may
    do this for educational reasons or simply for the experience. The length abroad depends on
    each student: some may go for a semester, while others may spend well over a year overseas.
