🔍 4 Simple Rules

Read & Learn

What's your ...? It's ...

Ask What's your + a thing to get a detail. Answer with It's + the detail. Do not say What your name is.

Example 1: "What's your teacher's name? It's Mr Green."

Example 2: "What's your email? It's ben99@mail.com."

How do you spell it?

Ask How do you spell it? when you need the letters of a word. Answer with the letters one by one, with a dash between them. Always write them with capital letters.

Example 1: "How do you spell Brown? B-R-O-W-N."

Example 2: "How do you spell your street? K-I-N-G."

Phone Numbers

Say a phone number one digit at a time. Say 0 as zero or oh. Do not read phone numbers as big numbers like twenty or hundred.

Example 1: "It's oh seven six, four two one, nine."

Example 2: "My mobile number is zero eight nine, five five two."

Numbers 0 to 100

Say numbers up to 100 with -teen for 13 to 19 and -ty for tens like thirty or forty. Thirteen and thirty sound different. Put a dash in two-word numbers like twenty-five.

Example 1: "It's number forty-five."

Example 2: "She lives at number sixteen."
