When you want to TRY something, you can say:

If you’d like the shop assistant to give you a DIFFERENT SIZE OR COLOUR, you could say:

  • Do you have this/these in a smaller / bigger / larger size please?
  • Can I try the larger / small one please?
  • Do you have it / them in a different colour please?
