Asking for Information

There are a number of formulas used when asking for information in English. Here are some of the most common:

• Could you tell me...?
• Do you know...?
• Do you happen to know...?
• I'd like to know...
• Could you find out...?
• I'm interested in...
• I'm looking for..

These two forms are used for asking for information on the telephone:

• I'm calling to find out...
• I'm calling about...

-(Excuse me) can could you tell me (the way to the station/...)

-Do you know (if they are here / when they leave /...)

-Could you give me some information about ...

-Is it true that (they have moved /...)

-Have you got an idea of (when they leave / ...)

-I'd like to know (what he does / ...)
