[English]

where are you at i'm coming

i'm almost there i'll be there in 15

minutes

i just got here i can't see you i'm

sorry i'm running late i'm stuck in

traffic

today i will show you five ways to

answer questions about your location

where are you is the simplest way to ask

this question

where are you at is a question you might

hear

before meeting up with someone it's a

question

asked to check someone's location

and a similar question is are you on

your way

this is a question specifically used

when meeting with someone

if you are still traveling to the

meeting location

you can say i'm coming or

i'm on my way this tells the person

asking

that you are going but it doesn't give

information about how far away you are

if you have almost arrived to the

meeting location

or someone asks how far away you are

you can simply say i'm almost there

this means you are close by and will

arrive

soon you can add wait

hang on to this sentence to ask the

person

to wait there until you arrive

hang on i'm almost there if you want to

be more

exact about how far away you are

you can say i'll be there in blank

minutes or hours for example

i'll be there in 10 minutes i'll be

there in

two hours remember if you are

one minute or one hour away you can use

a minute and an hour

if you have already arrived you can say

i'm already here i just got here

more formally you can say i've just

arrived

in this situation it's good to then ask

the person

where they are i'm already here

where are you if you are going to arrive

late to the meeting you can say

i'm sorry i'm running a little late it

is then polite to tell the person

how long it will take you to arrive

finally giving a reason for your

lateness

is also a good idea i'm stuck in traffic

this means you're on your way but there

are too many

cars on the road i overslept

this means you slept later than you

wanted to

use what you learned today to answer the

question

type your answer in the comment section

where are you at

[Music]

i hope this video was helpful in

learning different ways

to answer questions about your location

i'll see you next time if you want to

learn more
