AP 8 – What would you say?
Scenario 1:
Sorry I don’t know the expression ‘back on track’, can you explain it to me?
Scenario 2:
Sorry to interrupt you, Mr. X. I’m having trouble following you. Would you mind speaking more slowly?
Scenario 3:
What did you say?
Scenario 4:
Sorry a piece of clarification, are you saying that the project is feasible or that it depends on some preliminary steps to perform yet?
Scenario 5:
I have to interrupt you. You are using a word that I’m not making, can I ask you to spell the word you have just said immediately after ***?
Scenario 6:
Are you saying that Mark’s behavior toward his girlfriend is terrible and you would have left him?
Scenario 7:
Sorry, how much sales increase we need?
Scenario 8:
So can you confirm you will pick me up about at 9, after having took Jenny?

Good work here @Lu_Corde
Here are some suggestions:
4. Instead of Sorry a piece of clarification … better> Sorry, just to clarify …
5. You should use a phrasal verb here: You are using a word that I’m not making out,
7. Can you try and rewrite this?! 😚
8. …. after having picked up Jenny?

Thank you for your feedback!
For 7. I would say ”Sorry, how much do we need to increase sales?”, is it right?

Ok @Lu_Corde , let’s see:
In your original sentence you wrote:
> Sorry, how much sales increase we need?
you are simply missing the auxiliary verb: Sorry, how much sales increase DO we need?
In the corrected sentence you are almost there, you are just missing the preposition which you could place here
> Sorry, how much do we need to increase sales BY?
or here
> Sorry, BY how much do we need to increase sales?
Lastly, you could simply say: Sorry, how much?
