Riding the Subway to the Airport

(1) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

So, you are leaving next week. We'll miss you so much!

(2) Kyle:

Listen

Thank you for everything, Mrs. Finch. I had a great [vocab word=homestay]homestay[/vocab] [vocab word=experience]experience[/vocab].

(3) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

Are you [vocab word=able to]able to[/vocab] get to the [vocab word=airport]airport[/vocab] by yourself?

"By yourself" means you do something alone without help.

(4) Kyle:

Listen

I think so, but I'm not sure. My friend drove me here from the airport. But, he is on [vocab word=vacation]vacation[/vocab] now. So, he [vocab word=cannot]can't[/vocab] drive me to the airport.

"To drive someone to the airport" means I take someone with me on my car and drive to the airport for the person.

(5) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

You [vocab word=can]can[/vocab] take the [vocab word=subway]subway[/vocab] from Davisville Station to the airport. We can drive you to the [vocab word=station]station[/vocab].

(6) Kyle:

Listen

Can I go from Davisville Station to the airport [vocab word=directly]directly[/vocab]?

"Can I go ..." is a question. To make a question, you switch the modal verb and the subject: Modal verb + subject + verb ...?

(7) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

No, you cannot go there directly. You will have to go [vocab word=south]south[/vocab], [vocab word=switch]switch[/vocab] the subway at Bloor-Yonge station, then go [vocab word=west]west[/vocab] until Kipling station, the last station.

You cannot just take 1 subway train and go from Davisville station to the airport. You cannot go from Davisville station to the airport directly.

(8) Kyle:

Listen

Is that the airport?

(9) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

No. You will, then, take a bus to the airport.

(10) Kyle:

Listen

Oh, that's really [vocab word=complicated]complicated[/vocab]. Am I able to get to the airport from here by bus?

(11) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

Well, you "[vocab word=could]could[/vocab]" get to the airport on a [vocab word=single]single[/vocab] bus. But, they stopped that bus [vocab word=route]route[/vocab] last month. So, now, you have to ride two buses, and it takes almost two hours.

"Could" is the past tense of "Can". In the past, you could get to the airport on 1 bus. But not, you cannot.

(12) Kyle:

Listen

That's too bad.

(13) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

You can ride a [vocab word=taxi]taxi[/vocab] to the airport.

(14) Kyle:

Listen

How much is a taxi to the airport?

(15) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

It's about 50 dollars.

(16) Kyle:

Listen

Oh, that's too expensive.

(17) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

Are you able to drive a car? You can [vocab word=rent]rent[/vocab] a car at Davisville, drive to the airport, and [vocab word=return]return[/vocab] the car at the airport.

"Are you able to drive a car?" means "Can you drive a car?"

(18) Kyle:

Listen

No, I'm not able to drive a car, yet. Well, I will probably just take the subway. I'll just have to read the map carefully.

(19) Mrs. Finch:

Listen

Sounds good.
