feel when morning ends for you good

co-workers the next phrase is good night

good night is fine we don’t use this to

saying goodbye to other people at night

family members particularly mothers and

fathers to say good night to their

children before they put them to bed you

can say it to your friend and a text

message or in an email if you’ve been

talking for a while good night so the

next word to talk about is goodbye use

it when you say goodbye to your friends

when you leave your friends goodbye bye

of course take care have a nice day

peace out that’s another way to say

goodbye okay the next phrase is I’m plus

your name of course this is a way to

introduce yourself you can use I’m in my

case Alicia I’m Alicia to introduce

yourself in any situation new friend I’m

Alicia

okay the next phrase is what’s your name

what’s your name is used to ask someone

else what their name is so what is your

your name again next phrase is nice to

meet you nice to meet you any time you

friendly way to check in with the other

person you can use it with friends your

family your co-workers maybe even your

boss to a certain degree how are ya how

you doin the next phrase is I’m fine

thanks and you if you saw English in

three minutes we talked a lot about this

phrase

instead of I’m fine thank you and you

say I’m good thanks how are you just

shorten it and make it a little bit more

natural how are you good how are you

great

how are you not so good how are you okay

and so on so when someone says how are

you offer I usually say I’m good

this week i bla bla give some

information about what you’ve been up to

maybe a hobby something that you did

recently an event something interesting

you saw whatever people want to make

that connection with you and it’s a good

chance for you to continue speaking the

next word is please please as a polite

response when someone offers you

something like in a restaurant for

example would you like more water would

you like something to drink

expression someone asks you a question

and the answer is a positive answer you

say yes yep uh-huh

yeah we know next I’m guessing I knew it

yep the next word is no no is a negative

response to something when you have to

give a negative answer so as you can

probably guess the long form of no is

negative I like to use nope it’s very

very casual not gonna happen my parents

would use that with me to soften that a

little bit if you want to show a

negative response to something like

let’s go for dinner tonight what do you

want to do like do you want to go out

not really

hmm no I don’t think so hmm to soften it

the next word is okay okay this word

comes from copy editors okay when they

had to check a manuscript they had to

label the manuscript all clear AC but

because they were copy editors and they

have a very very sick sense of humor

they thought they would mark it okay for

all clear to make a joke because o and K

do not start all and clear but it caught

on among everybody in the world

anyway okay is used to agree with

somebody else well it can be used

actually to express a positive or kind

of a slight negative I feel

transitioning in your conversation you

can say okay now we’re going to talk

about blah blah blah okay

the next phrase is excuse me excuse me

it’s used to get someone’s attention in

English when you don’t know the other

person for example in a store a

supermarket maybe a stranger on the

street you need to ask directions you

can use excuse me you can use excuse me

in the supermarket excuse me can you

tell me where the hot sauce is if you’ve

done something rude in public you can

use excuse me I personally do not do

rude things in public ever I’m sorry is

the next word we’re gonna talk about I’m

sorry is used to apologize when you have

made a mistake or someone you know has

made a mistake and you’re connected to

it or you just feel bad you can use I’m

sorry you made a mistake at work I’m

sorry you forgot to feed your cat I’m

sorry

sorry about that you bump someone next

to you oh sorry what time is it is the

next phrase when you need to check what

time it is

what time is it when you ask someone

else what time it is maybe you say this

to yourself to check your watch check

your phone check a clock pretty

straightforward phrase there aren’t

really any short version so that’s an

easy one hey where is that plus a

location so you can use this for a

building or a store we don’t we’re not

going to use this where is the for a

place a city name or a state name or a

country name to do that you would need

to remove the but where is the bank

where is the post office you can use

this to ask directions to ask for help

in your house or at work where is the

copy machine where is the file

I need where is the blah blah blah where

is the bathroom is perhaps a very

important question to know the next one

is may I use the restroom may I use the

restroom is a polite and soft expression

that you can use if you need to use the

toilet you need to use the washroom and

when you’re at someone’s house for the

very first time when you’re in a place

that your that is new to you you can ask

may I use the restroom

more casually can I go to the bathroom

to be very polite you could say may I go

to the bathroom the next phrase is I

would like to order something you can

use this at a restaurant probably or in

any situation where you need to place an

order I’d like a pizza

I like beer can I get the check please

this will be used at a restaurant when

you’ve finished your meal and it’s time

to go can I get the check please

in a very very casual situation you can

just say check please that’s fine the

next phrase is see you soon see you soon

is used with friends and family members

perhaps when you expect to see them

again soon after saying goodbye to them

this is used at the end of the

conversation you’re going separate

directions

see you soon see ya is also good or just

see you to make it a little more formal

you can say I’ll see you again soon make

a full sentence out of it that way the

next phrases see you later see you later

is very similar to see you soon but the

point is with see you later is that

you’re probably going to meet that

person again later on in the same day

the last phrase is really really is a

very useful word because you can use it

to show you were interested in a

conversation with upward intonation

really really tell me more or to show

that you’re not so interested in the

conversation with downward intonation

really so there are many other words

that you can use similar to really in

this way like seriously or oh oh and so

please be careful man is one of those

words that has an irregular plural form

when you need to use the plural of the

who’s that man or what’s up man you can

use man with men or women interestingly

enough the next word is woman woman also

women when referring to more than one

woman not

women’s or woman’s even though the the

singular and the plural form of women

and women have the same spelling at the

beginning WOM the pronunciations are

different women women so watch out for

that when you say this pretty woman the

next word is person person you can use

it to refer generally to either a man or

a woman please be careful persons plural

form becomes people when you want to

talk about another culture for example

you can say such-and-such countries

to the entire planet Earth I like to

travel all around the world or I like

trying foods from all around the world

in the world of science this is an

authors so worlds can be used to refer

just just to kind of a more specific

hobby or a specific interest or it’s

just a specific person’s life warth

world’s father father is your dad other

other common words used for father are

dad papa pop daddy pah pah sha with my

dad

while mother is used to refer to kind of

like nurturing

like you know the earth or things that

like can give life to others father at

least in my mind there’s kind of this

image of someone who’s a little bit more

strict in your life the next word is

sister a female sibling is your sister

you can also use sister for a female

person that you feel very very close

with so I might call my female friend

who’s I’m very close to my sister my

brother likes to shorten it to sis you

silly sister Whoopi Goldberg was in a

famous movie called Sister Act the next

word is brother brother is a male

sibling you can also use brother to

refer to a close male friend common

variations of brother are brother bro

bra Rosie brewski depending on what kind

of person you are you can choose to use

any number of those like I might

sarcastically say to my friend cool

story bro like if he’s told me a story

that’s not very exciting in Mario for

example the name of the Mario game is

actually super mario brothers but

brothers is abbreviated as BRS super

mario bros yeah just be careful about

your use of bro because it sounds a

little bit like a college-age boy that’s

kind of a kind of the feeling of the

word bro oh brother where art thou the

next word is daughter daughter is a

a daughter taken its son a male child is

exactly the same as s u n son what are

you used to see with I is used in a lot

of expressions and idioms in English as

I’m waiting for something to happen the

next word is hand body parts give me a

hand

or can I give you a hand means please

help me or can I help you to give

someone a hand head this thing on the

top of your body your head we use head

to refer to the top of things as in the

head of a company the head of a group

the head of the line so who

is first in the line whoever is top at

the company they are the head if you

have a head dance dance the next word is

foot this is another word that has a

weird plural form one foot two feet foot

interestingly enough foot is used of

course to refer to your body part a foot

also is a unit of measurement if you are

from America or I believe one other

called the footer meaning the bottom

where you can put little notes to your
