Activity 2. Preparing to Introduce Someone

A. Here are some expressions used when we want to introduce someone:

I'd like to introduce ...

I'd like you to meet ...

Can I introduce you to ...

Quan, this is Rodolfo.

This is my friend, Jack. — Hi, Jack. I'm Linda.

(After an introduction)

B: No, we haven't.

A: Ben, this is Carol. Carol this is Ben. (B and C smile and shake hands.)
