Hotels, schools, doctor’s offices — almost everywhere asks you to fill in a form. Let’s review exactly what information they need.

Notice

Look at this form:

Registration Form
First name: ___________
Last name: ___________
Date of birth: ___________
Nationality: ___________
Address: ___________
Phone number: ___________
Email: ___________

Rule

Form language is short — no full sentences needed, just the answer: First name: Maria (not “My first name is Maria”).

Review: Date of birth = your birthday (day/month/year). Nationality = the country you’re from (e.g. Spanish, Japanese).

Practice

  1. What goes in “Date of birth”? (Answer: your birth date, e.g. 12/05/1998)
  2. What goes in “Nationality”? (Answer: e.g. Brazilian, Korean)
  3. Fill in this form with your own real or imagined details: First name, Last name, Nationality, Phone number.
  4. What’s the difference between “first name” and “last name”? (Answer: first name = given name, last name = family name/surname)
