When you travel or live in an English-speaking country, you’re going to deal with servers in restaurants. They speak quickly and expect a quick response. If you don’t understand what they ask you, or if they don’t understand your response, you may get food that you didn’t want! To avoid this, be prepared. Watch this lesson to learn some of the common questions you’ll be asked in a restaurant, as well as how to answer them. We’ll cover questions such as: “How would you like your steak, eggs, or potato done”?, “Tap or draught?”, “Buttered or plain?”, and more. Have you ever been in a situation in an English-speaking country where you didn’t understand what a server was asking you? Let me know in the comments.
hey adam. thank you for this wonderful lesson. i scored 8/9. will keep all your instructions in mind whenever i would plan to go to a restaurant with my family or friends.

Thanks a lot, Mr.Adam for top-notch advice to deal with servers in restaurants.
If I don’t understand what they ask me, or if servers in restaurants don’t understand my response, I really may get food that I didn’t want!That sucks!

Hi Adam
Simon here.
where can i write a task one and task two letter and have you look at it and tell me where i go wrong.
Hi Adam! Thank you very much for a wonderful lesson.”Tap or draught?” – must be about beer? What’s the difference? I guess I ought to look for the beer lesson that you mentioned)
tuutikki
Hi Tuutikki,
Draught, draft, or on tap all refer to beer poured from a keg as opposed to in a bottle or can. Hope this helps.
Adam
Thank you so much for the lesson.

What does mean “draft” ?
HILDA56
Hi Hilda,
In sports, a draft is the occasion when teams select amateurs from college or lower leagues to join their professional teams.
In other contexts, draft has several meanings. You can check a dictionary to see all of them.
Hope this helps.
Adam
I got a scored 5 out of 9 but I enjoyed it because I learned new things to take into account in a restaurant. Thank you so much for this useful lesson. Greetings!

Hi Walaazaki,
Sometimes means occasionally, that is, not always but not never. Sometime means an unknown time.
Students sometimes ask me interesting questions.
I will retire sometime in the future.
Does this help?
Adam

Hello,Adam
I have a question, please.
I know that the word “every” should be followed by a singular countable noun. But I came across this sentence:”I wish you two every happiness.” “Happiness” is an uncountable noun; why is it used with “every”in this sentence?
Thank you in a advance.
