Diálogo realista
Student: Hi. I’m not completely sure what the next step is, so I wanted to check with you.
Teacher: Absolutely. Give me the key details and I’ll see what we can do.
Student: Could we go over the details for hacer preguntas en clase?
Teacher: Okay. The first thing we should look at is the lesson.
Student: I have that. I’m less certain about the deadline.
Teacher: Sure. In this case, the deadline depends on the notes.
Student: So, just to confirm, that means there is one more step after this, right?
Teacher: Yes, that’s right. Once the question is confirmed, there shouldn’t be any other action for you today.
Student: I have a question about…
Teacher: It depends on the lecture. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.
Student: Okay. I brought the exam too, because I wasn’t sure whether it was required.
Teacher: Yes, keep it handy. Someone may ask you to confirm it later.
Student: Thank you for the feedback.
Teacher: Absolutely. Let’s go through the assignment slowly so you know exactly what it means.
Student: That’s helpful. I understand the general idea; I just want to avoid missing one important detail.
Teacher: Exactly. You don’t need every word. Focus on the feedback and any instruction that follows it.
Student: Do we need to submit this today?
Teacher: If you need to follow up, refer to the classmate so the next person can see the history.
Student: Before I go, can I confirm the example as well?
Teacher: That’s correct. The example stays exactly as discussed.
Student: Thanks. I’ve written down the main points, so I should be all set.
Teacher: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre hacer preguntas en clase, identificá primero si la otra persona está pidiendo un dato, confirmando algo o indicando un próximo paso. Esa función te ayuda a responder incluso si no entendiste una palabra secundaria.
Confirmar es parte de una conversación natural
“Just to confirm…” y “So, if I understood correctly…” son recursos normales en inglés profesional y cotidiano. Sirven para reducir errores, no para demostrar inseguridad.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “lesson”, “deadline” o “notes”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.
Errores comunes de hispanohablantes
✕ I have a doubt about this.
✓ I have a question about this.
“I have a question” es la opción natural para introducir una consulta concreta.
✕ Can you repeat me that?
✓ Could you repeat that, please?
Con repeat, lo natural es usar directamente el objeto: “repeat that” o “say that again”.
✕ I want that you check it.
✓ Could you confirm it for me?
Evitá copiar estructuras del español. En inglés cambian tanto la construcción como el registro de cortesía.
✕ Tell me the lesson.
✓ Could you tell me about the lesson, please?
Agregar could y please hace que un pedido de información suene mucho más natural.
