Some questions

Hi all
I have some questions

First consider you went in a bar or supermarket and because you didn't take your money your friend pay for you. now after a week I want to say him how much did he spend and what is my share. What would I say?
In my language we use a word which is equivalent to calculate, we say please calculate that buying, what is it in English? and how can I say let's do it?

Second, I was in a shopping and I asked a ticket and I took a biscuit too, I pay for the ticvket and shopkeeper told me: sorry I didn't charge you for that biscuit. I wanted to say that oh sorry I thought you charged it but I am not whether it is correct. is this answer correct?

Third. Which one is correct? "Do you know where the Church street is?" or "Do you know where is the Church Street?"

Last question is that, can you suggest a book in which every day talks is presented as an conversation and divided in topics such as "in restaurant", "visit doctor", "in bakery" etc.

Thank you

" "I thought you charged it" is OK when talking in a shop. If you want to use more words.... " If you know the street name don't use 'the'.

I'd probably say "How much do I owe you for the shopping?"
Another way is to say "How much is my share of the bill from last week?"

"I thought you charged it" is OK when talking in a shop.
If you want to use more words.... "Oh I'm sorry, I thought you'd already charged me for it."

If you know the street name don't use 'the'.
"Do you know where Church Street is?"
