Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Elena: You can use these phrases to ask when someone is leaving for somewhere, even when they’re leaving a country or a city. But be aware that you can use this phrase to talk about leaving by car, bus or train. If you leave by foot or plane, the verb will be different.
