The focus of this lesson is asking about someone's contact details in English

Topic 1: How to ask someone's phone number

Sentence from the lesson:


"What's your phone number?"

1. There are two main problems with the question "What's your phone number?" Firstly,
it can sound a little too direct, especially when talking to members of the opposite
sex. And secondly, people use the phone a lot less these days than they used to.
Instead, they might prefer to connect by email, or on a social networking sites like
Facebook.

2. Here is a less direct version of the same questions: "Could I get your number?"

3. Nowadays, many people prefer to use email rather than the phone to communicate.
Asking someone for his or her email address is also a little less direct than asking for
their phone number. "Could I get your email address?"

4. If someone wants to connect with you through social networking sites like Facebook
or Linkedin, or an online chatting service like Skype, they may simply ask "Are you
on...?" followed by the name of the service. "Are you on Facebook?" "Are you on
Linkedin?" "Are you on Skype?"

Topic 2: How to answer with your contact details

Sentence from the lesson:

"Sure, my phone number is + [number]"

1. "Sure, my phone number is..." or "Sure, my email address is..." And then say your
phone number or email address at the end.

2. In order to answer to the question "Are you on [name of social networking site], you
simply say "Yes, I am." or "No, I'm not."

3. If you respond with "Yes, I am," the other person may ask how they can connect with
you on one of these services.

4. If you're not on one of these services but if you still would like to stay in touch with the
person, though, you can say "No, but my email address is..." or "No, but my phone
number is..." And then say your email address or phone number.

Language Tip!

If you ask someone for their phone number, their email address, or some other form of contact
information, they will usually give it to you if you've gotten to know them a little beforehand. If
you ask too early in the conversation, though, they may be hesitant about sharing that
information. The key is to make sure you talk for some time before requesting this kind of
personal information.
