Lesson 6 - Dialog

Introduction:

This lesson introduces:

More patterns on the use of time:
* "Action + bao laâu?" = how long did/will + action?
* "Action + ñöôïc + bao laâu?" = how long were you able + action?
* "Action + ñöôïc + bao laâu + roài?" = how long have you been + action?

New patterns for making questions:
* "coù .... khoâng?"
* "..... theá naøo?"
