Key Sentences
Important phrases to remember and practice
Excuse me, I'm having a bit of trouble with the Wi-Fi.
This is a polite way to start asking for help. 'Excuse me' gets attention, and 'a bit of trouble' softens the complaint. Use it when you need assistance in public places like shops. Grammar: Present continuous 'I'm having' shows ongoing action.
What's the issue you're seeing? Is it giving you an error message?
This shows how to ask for details politely. 'What's the issue' is neutral for problems, and the yes/no question helps diagnose. Useful for customer service. Grammar: Present continuous 'you're seeing' and 'it's giving' describe current situations.
It keeps saying 'Incorrect Password' even though I've typed it in carefully multiple times.

Ah, that's it! 'CoffeeBean_Guest' is for internal use.

Oh, I see! That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying!
