$LESSON 4-5: Asking the Price — "How Much?"
# =====================================================================

# Source: ST §Asking the Price — How Much...?
$GRAMMAR How Much...?
INTRO: When you want to know a price, two little words do the job: "How much". Here's how it pairs with "is/are" and with "cost".

Use **How much** to ask about the price of something.

With **be**, you put the price word right after it:

| Question with BE |
|---|
| **How much** {are the shoes}? |
| **How much** {are they}? |
| **How much** {is the shirt}? |
| **How much** {is it}? |

With **cost**, you need a helper — *do*, *does*, or *did* for the past:

| Question with COST |
|---|
| **How much** {do the shoes cost}? |
| **How much** {does the shirt cost}? |
| **How much** {did the shoes cost}? |

The trap: with **be** there's no "do" — say *How much is it?*, never *How much does it is?*

$GRAMMAR This, That, These, Those
INTRO: Four little pointing words. "This/these" for what's near you; "that/those" for what's farther away — and singular versus plural.

English points with four words, by **distance** and by **number**:

| | NEAR | NOT NEAR |
|---|---|---|
| **SINGULAR** | {this} | {that} |
| **PLURAL** | {these} | {those} |

Near you: {this hat} (one), {these hats} (more than one).
Farther off: {that hat} (one), {those hats} (more than one).

We often pair them with **over here** (near) and **over there** (not near):
{It's over here.} {It's over there.}
