Wort für Wort

Excuse In „Excuse me“ asks the speaker politely for the other person’s attention or pardon. The complete expression „Excuse me“ is useful when addressing someone you do not know or interrupting briefly.

me In „Excuse me“ refers to the speaker as the person affected by the request. This object form follows the verb in the reusable expression „Excuse me“.

is In „is the bus delayed?“ asks about the bus’s current condition. In this yes-or-no question, „is“ comes before the subject „the bus“.

the In „the bus“ identifies a specific bus that both people understand from the situation. „The“ is used before a singular noun when the particular thing is known or relevant.

bus „bus“ means the public-transport vehicle being discussed. A common pattern is „the bus“ when referring to a particular bus at a stop.

delayed „delayed“ means that the bus is late and is not arriving at the expected time. It follows „is“ in „is the bus delayed?“ to describe the bus’s condition.

There's „There's“ is the contraction of „there is“ and introduces something that exists in the situation: „There's heavy traffic nearby.“ It is commonly followed by a singular noun or an uncountable expression.

heavy In „heavy traffic“ means that the traffic is intense or dense. „Heavy“ is commonly used before „traffic“ to describe difficult road conditions.

traffic „traffic“ refers to the vehicles and congestion on the road near the bus stop. The common expression „heavy traffic“ describes a large or slow-moving amount of road traffic.

nearby „nearby“ means close to the place where the speakers are standing. It can be used after a noun, as in „heavy traffic nearby“, to indicate a nearby location.

Do In „Do you know when it will arrive?“ „Do“ helps form a question about what the other person knows. With „you“, the reusable question pattern is „Do you know ...?“.

you „you“ refers to the person being addressed at the bus stop. It is the subject in the question pattern „Do you know ...?“.

know In „Do you know when it will arrive?“ asks whether the other person has information. „Know“ can be followed by a question beginning with „when“, as in „Do you know when ...?“.

when „when“ asks about the time at which the bus will arrive. It introduces the time question „when it will arrive“ after „Do you know“.

it In „when it will arrive“ refers to the bus already mentioned. „It“ is used here as the subject of the clause about the bus’s arrival.

will In „it will arrive“ marks the bus’s expected future arrival. After „will“, the verb remains in the form „arrive“.

arrive „arrive“ means reach the bus stop or another destination. In the reusable pattern „when it will arrive“, it describes a future arrival.

It's „It's“ is the contraction of „it is“ and describes the bus’s current situation in „It's still on the way.“ It is followed here by „still“ and the expression „on the way“.

still „still“ means that the bus continues to be on its way and has not arrived yet. It commonly appears before the phrase describing the continuing situation, as in „still on the way“.

on the way „on the way“ means currently traveling toward the destination; here, the bus has not arrived yet. The exact components „on“, „the“, and „way“ form one expression, and it can be used after „be“, as in „It's on the way“.

So „So“ introduces a consequence of the heavy traffic and the bus still being on the way. It commonly connects a reason with a result, as in „So the wait may be longer.“

wait In „the wait“ means the period of time spent waiting for the bus. The article „the“ shows that this specific waiting period is being discussed.

may „may“ indicates that it is possible for the wait to be longer, but this is not certain. It is followed by the base form „be“, as in „may be“.

be In „may be longer“ links the possibility expressed by „may“ with the condition „longer“. After the modal „may“, the form „be“ is used without a changed ending.

longer „longer“ means taking more time than expected or than another waiting period. In „the wait may be longer“, it describes the possible duration of the wait.

there In „Is there another bus ...?“ „there“ introduces the question of whether another bus exists. This existential pattern is „Is there ...?“ followed by the thing being asked about.

another „another“ means one more or a different bus from the one already discussed. It is used directly before the singular noun „bus“, as in „another bus“.

for In „another bus for the same route“ indicates that the bus serves or is intended for that route. A reusable pattern is „something for a route“ when describing its intended service.

same In „the same route“ means the route already being discussed, not a different route. „Same“ commonly appears before a noun with „the“, as in „the same route“.

route „route“ means the path or service followed by the bus. It can be used in the expression „the same route“ when comparing two transport options.

but „but“ introduces the disadvantage of the alternative bus: it exists, but it takes longer. It commonly connects two statements that contrast with each other.

that In „that option“ refers to the alternative bus just mentioned. „That“ is placed before the noun „option“ to identify the mentioned choice.

option „option“ means a possible choice or alternative, here the other bus. A common pattern is „that option“ when referring back to a choice already discussed.

takes In „that option takes longer“ means that the alternative requires more time. The verb „takes“ is used with a transport option as the subject and a time expression such as „longer“.

I'll „I'll“ is the contraction of „I will“ and expresses the speaker’s decision about what to do next. In „I'll stay here“, it is followed by the base form „stay“.

stay „stay“ means remain in the current place instead of leaving. The reusable pattern „I'll stay here“ states a decision to remain at a location.

here „here“ means in the place where the speaker is now, the bus stop. It commonly follows a verb of remaining or movement when the current location matters.

and „and“ connects the two actions in „stay here and wait for this bus“. It is used to join actions carried out by the same speaker.

this In „this bus“ points to the particular bus that is nearby or currently being discussed. „This“ is placed before the singular noun „bus“ to identify it specifically.

That's „That's“ is the contraction of „that is“ and refers to the proposed choice of staying for the bus. It is followed here by „probably best“ to give an assessment.

probably „probably“ means that the speaker considers the choice likely to be the best, without claiming certainty. It commonly appears before an adjective or evaluation, as in „probably best“.

best „best“ means the most suitable choice in this situation. In „That's probably best“, it evaluates the decision to stay and wait for this bus.

if „if“ introduces the condition „you can wait“ for the recommendation to apply. It commonly links a condition with the result or advice that depends on it.

can In „if you can wait“ means that the person is able or willing to wait long enough. After „can“, the verb stays in the base form, here „wait“.
