自然な表現

Excuse me? Could you tell me how to get to the A movie theatre? I don't know my present location.

1. Alternative: where I am right now.
Sure, let me help you out. Do you have a smartphone or a map with you that I can help guide you using landmarks and street names?

Yes,I have my smartphone that you can guide me. But it don't indicate my now location information.

自然な表現

Yes, I have my smartphone that you can use to guide me. However,  it can't indicate my current location    .

1. To correctly and clearly express what action the person will do, add “use”.
2. BUT is a type of conjunction and it is not used at the start of a sentence.
3. An. An adjective is needed here that will modify the noun “location”. NOW is an adverb.
4. There is no need to use “information” here. The context here is already complete even without it.
Keep walking for two blocks, then turn left at the next corner.You'll see a large red building on your right-hand side. Keep going past it for a few blocks, then turn right at the next street.Cross the street and walk towards the park. The theater is located just across from the entrance.

Thank you! I understood your introduction.

自然な表現

Thank you! I understand your instruction.

1. A past participle is not needed here. Just use the base form of the verb. Usually, it’s just “I understand”.
2. The correct word to use is “instruction”.
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. Is there anything else you need help with, or is there any other information you need?

I have no question. I am appreciate your kindness. Thank you!

自然な表現

I have no questions. I    appreciate your kindness. Thank you!

1. Alternative: Everything is clear.
2. There’s no need to use the verb “am” here since the “appreciate” is also a verb that is in the base form.
