Prices and paying 价格与付款
问价与付款：price、dollar、cent、expensive、cheap、how much、pay、cash、card。核心语法是单数用 "How much is …?"，复数用 "How much are …?"——英语按单复数变动词。韩语动词不随数变化，所以韩语母语者常保留 "is"："How much is these bags?" ✗ → "How much are these bags?" ✓。

- Emma Minsu, do you want to buy these bags? 民秀，你想买这些包吗？
- Minsu Yes. How much is these bags? 想。这些包多少钱？（口误：these bags 是复数——用 "are" → "How much are these bags?"）
- Emma "These bags" is plural — use "are": How much are these bags? "These bags" 是复数——用 "are"：How much are these bags?
- Minsu How much are these bags? 这些包多少钱？

Grammar
"How much is …?" 与 "How much are …?"
Explanation
问价钱，说 "How much" + is / are + 东西。一个东西用 IS：How much is this bag? — It's ten dollars。两个或更多用 ARE：How much are these apples? — They're four dollars。动词必须一致：一个 → is，多个 → are。和 "this is / these are" 是同一规则。回答用带 "dollars" 的价格：It's five dollars。说怎么付：I want to pay by card / with cash。韩语动词对任何数量都用一种形式，所以注意复数——"these bags" 必须用 ARE，不是 is。
Examples
- How much is this? — It's ten dollars. 这个多少钱？——十美元。
- How much are these apples? — They're four dollars. 这些苹果多少钱？——四美元。
- This bag is expensive. These bags are cheap. 这个包很贵。这些包便宜。
- I want to pay by card. 我想刷卡付款。
