Do you have the time?
Hi,
As far as I know "Can you tell me what time it is?" is the same as "Do you have the time?" or What time do you have?
But when I really mean "Do you have the time?" (to help me) it might be confusing someone. Suppose there is a girl sitting on a bench and a boy asks a girl, saying "Do you have the time?". This might mean that the boy was so concered about the girl so he might ask for a date , or the boy needed to know what time it was. Is there any way to distinguish between them?
Thanks
