In this lesson, we will learn how to ask questions about time.

You are now going to watch a movie about two friends called Loren and Catherine.

They are going to the cinema. After the movie, we will have

a short lesson and quiz. Good luck!

Would you like to see a movie tonight ? Do we have time? I have to be home by 9:30.

Well, I guess it's around 6:15 now, that should be plenty of time.

Alright, let's look in the newspaper and see what's playing.

I haven't seen any of these movies. How about this one... The Scorpion?

Yeah, it's supposed to be a good movie. How much time do we have?

I don't know. It starts at half past six. Do you have the time?

Yes, it's twenty-five past six. That gives us almost three hours, that should

be plenty of time. I don't have any cash. Do you think I can

pay with a credit card? Let's look. Hmm...It says you can, but if

there is a problem, I can buy your ticket. And I can pay you later.
