รบกวนถามนิดนึงนะคะ ว่า 
              1. what color is this? กับ what's this color? ประโยคไหนใช้เป็นภาษาพูดมากกว่ากันคะ
              2. เรากลับถึงบ้านแล้ว พูดว่าอย่างไรคะ
              3. คาดเข็มขัดในรถยนต์ buckle up, fasten seatbelt , put on seatbelt 
                  ใช้ได้ทุกประโยคเลยมั๊ยคะ แล้วถ้าปลดล็อคล่ะคะใช้ยังไง
                             ขอบคุณมากค่ะ คุณเจี๊ยบ ครูปีเตอร์

1. What color is this?

2. We are home.

3. All of these sentences are fine:

- Please buckle up.

- Please fasten your seatbelt.  (this is the most common)

- Please put on your seatbelt.

- Please unbuckle your seatbelt.  (this is the most common)

- Please unfasten your seatbelt.

- Please take off your seatbelt.

ถามหน่อยนะคะ
2. เรากลับถึงบ้านแล้ว สามารถใช้ We arrive to our home. ได้ไหมคะ

[Mr. Peter C. Meltzer]

We have arrived at our home.

But "we're home" is much more common.

[Praewa's mom]

Thank u very much ka.

รบกวนถามคะกรณีที่มาถึงบ้านคือกำจอดรถหน้าบ้านแล้วพูดว่า we got home. ได้ไหมคะ

[Mr. Peter C. Meltzer]

You can't say "we got home". You should say "we are home".

"Got" is the past tense. The only way you could use it is if you say:

- We got home yesterday at 6 pm.
- We got home yesterday while it was raining.
- We got home yesterday before it rained.

If you want to talk about now, you should say "we're home" or "we have arrived at home".
