morning good morning is used as a
greeting in the morning you can kind of
feel when morning ends for you good
morning is nice and polite or even just
morning with your close friends or close
co-workers the next phrase is good night
good night is fine we don’t use this to
greet other people we use it when we’re
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
name sounds a bit try to use what’s your
name
if you forget someone’s name you can say
sorry what’s your name or sorry what’s
your name again next phrase is nice to
meet you nice to meet you any time you
meet someone new nice to meet you is
fine good to meet you is a little more
casual great to meet you sounds very

context ok the next phrase is how are

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
phrase used when you want something from
someone else you can use this as a
response when someone offers you
something like in a restaurant for
example would you like more water would
you like something to drink
oh please the next phrase is thank you
thank you is used to express your
appreciation you can use thank you with
everybody the next phrase is you’re

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

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
might also hear sista as well if you are
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

daughter I have a daughter I don’t have
a daughter taken its son a male child is

exactly the same as s u n son what are
you talking about son the next word is I

you used to see with I is used in a lot
of expressions and idioms in English as
in I’ve got my eye on you meaning I’m
watching you or keep your eye out for
something meaning please look for
something or please pay close attention
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
