Diálogo realista
Alex: Hi there. I need some help with this situation and I have the main information with me.
Morgan: Of course. Tell me what’s happening and we’ll take it from there.
Alex: I can have that ready by…
Morgan: Right. Let’s start with the project, because that usually determines the next step.
Alex: I have that. I’m less certain about the milestone.
Morgan: Of course. The easiest way to think about it is that the milestone comes before the task.
Alex: Could I check one thing? I don’t want to misunderstand the timing.
Morgan: Yes, that’s right. Once the salary is confirmed, there shouldn’t be any other action for you today.
Alex: Could we move the deadline to…?
Morgan: It depends on the blocker. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.
Alex: That helps. Should I keep the availability available for the next step?
Morgan: That would be useful. You may not need it now, but it can save time later.
Alex: What would be the best next step?
Morgan: Sure. The meeting is simpler than it sounds; there are only two things to remember.
Alex: Thanks. The vocabulary is actually easier when I can connect it to the situation.
Morgan: That’s a good approach. Listen for the scope, the time or number, and the action you need to take.
Alex: Just to confirm, we’re talking about explicar una tarea.
Morgan: If you need to follow up, refer to the status so the next person can see the history.
Alex: Before I go, can I confirm the priority as well?
Morgan: Yes. Nothing else changes there.
Alex: Great, I know what I need to do now. Thanks for your help.
Morgan: Of course. Good luck with everything.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre explicar una tarea, 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
Si una respuesta contiene mucha información, repetí solo el dato importante con una pregunta corta. Eso mantiene el intercambio ágil y claro.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “project”, “milestone” o “task”. 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 need that you explain it.

Evitá copiar estructuras del español. En inglés cambian tanto la construcción como el registro de cortesía.
