Newbie
A guest arrives hours before check-in. The receptionist politely declines and offers to keep their luggage. Learn the modal 可以 + V + 吗 for permission and polite requests, the clock-time pattern Number + 点, and the time markers 前 and 后. Plus, learn the apology pair, 不好意思 and 没关系, as the foundation of every Chinese service interaction.
