Could we learn one simple way of doing this first, please?

Question

I have read the lesson and the forum. At this level, is it really necessary to learn several (confusing) ways of asking these questions? Could we learn to use one, the commonest one, and then come back to another lesson later for all the variations. I cannot get past this test (but I can get what I want in a boulangerie!)  :)

Hi Stephen,
I understand your frustration  --  it is hard going to start with, but the lesson is designed for all types of students.
I suggest that you have a supplementary method of study with (say) a quality grammar book and just go at the pace that suits you, switching between more than one learning resource.
Bonne continuation.
Jim

Answer

I quite simply dont understand this. The text gives us different examples of how to say this but it seems backwards to me
