Vocabulary question no. 25 - on the bus (5 sentences)
Hi all,
Today I want to focus on bus-related lanugage.
1. What time is the next bus to Birmingham? ---> can I use for instead of to just like in this sentence: Which is the bus for London?
2. How many bus stops do I have to go to get to the Museum of History? ---> this sentence seems to be incorrect.
3. Could you tell me when we get to Hyde Park? ---> this sentence sounds very ambiguous... I don't know it the conveyed meaning is similar to Please tell me once we arrive at Hyde Park or if' it's more like How much time does it take to get to Hyde Park?
4. Which is the bus for London? ---> Can I use what instead of which?
5. Do I have to change buses to get there?
Thanks for any comments.

You know, I really wish you wouldn't use colours. I've avoided answering your post for a couple of hours now, because its appearance was so garish that I had to squint to read it. Simple italics are sufficient to distinguish your examples.

Mister MicawberYou know, I really wish you wouldn't use colours. I've avoided answering your post for a couple of hours now, because its appearance was so garish that I had to squint to read it. Simple italics are sufficient to distinguish your examples.And I usually spend so much time to make each question clear... I thought colors are helpful...

Perfect Stranger I thought colors are helpful...Well, it may be just me. Anyway, if anyone wishes to keep me away from a thread, just add formatting and technicolor and—oh, yes—lots of emoticons.
....
....I can't wait to see the next post on this thread....

I've just edited one of my previous posts that so far has been unasnwered. I've removed the colors to make it a bit more accesible to you.
