Answer HI Sabayat,
1) Quel est le prix d;une chambre pour une personne avec la douche?
THIS SENTENCE IS CORRECT. YOU CAN ALSO SAY "AVEC UNE SALLE DE BAIN" FOR WITH A SHOWER
2) Ou peux-je changer mes dollars australiens? (the English Q is: Where can I change my Australian dollars?)
OK
3) Je voudrAIs payer avec UNE carte de credit, si c'est possible. (the English Q is: I would like to pay with credit card, if that is possible.) PAYER AVEC UNE CARTE DE CREDIT IS CORRECT. YOU CAN ALSO SAY PAYER PAR CARTE DE CREDIT
4) Ils ne peuvent pas avoir la salle pendant trois jours. (the English Q is: They cannot have the room for three days.)
A ROOM IS IN FRENCH EITHER "SALLE" OR "CHAMBRE". IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A ROOM IN A HOTEL YOU SHOULD SAY "CHAMBRE".
5) Je voudrais une CHAMBRE AU troisieme etage. (the English Q is: I

1) Is there a commision? Y A T-IL UNE COMMISSION?
BUT ACTUALLY THE TRANSLATION DEPENDS OF THE CONTAXT. COMMISSION HAS DIFFERENT MEANING IN ENGLISH AND IN FRENCH. SO I NEED THE CONTEXT TO BE SURE.
2) How much does it cost to send this parcel by sea mail?
COMBIEN CELA COUTE T-IL D'ENVOYER CE COLIS / CE PAQUET PAR COURRIER MARITIME?
I HOPE THIS HELPS.
IF YOU NEED FURTER EXPLANATIONS DO NOT HESITATE RO FOLLOW UP THE QUESTION.
