¡Sí puedo! Can-Do Statements

Use clothing-related vocabulary and numbers past 100 to discuss clothing and cost.

shirts on a rack

In this section we will be talking about clothing: both wearing it and buying it. With your new clothing vocabulary, you will be “Como un niño con zapatos nuevos” (≈ like a kid in a candy store).

Since we are talking about the cost of clothing, we will need numbers past 100. But by now the numbers should be old hat. (In Spanish, con la gorra” [like a hat] = easy.)

If you feel like “no te llega la camisa al cuello” (you cannot get this shirt over your neck: you are struggling), hang in there! We have been in your shoes (Hemos estado en tus zapatos). And if you feel like Spanish “queda como un guante” (fits like a glove), ¡Nos quitamos el sombrero! (We tip our hat to you.)
