Cost
and Price
Para preguntar el precio de un producto:
- How much is it?
- How much does it cost?
- What's the price?
Las palabras cost y price son muy parecidas. Normalmente, the
price(el precio) figura por escrito, por ejemplo en el 'price
tag'(etiqueta del precio). Selling price es el precio de venta. The cost es el importe
que tienes que pagar. Por ejemplo, the total cost.
Normalmente price ejerce la función de nombre y cost de
verbo, pero ambos pueden funcionar como nombre o como verbo.
'Try it on...''try
something on', literalmente 'probarse algo en uno mismo'
Try the shoes on. / Pruébate los zapatos
