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

good bye 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 - 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 excited

pleasure to meet you sounds like maybe a

formal situation or a business context

okay the next phrase is how are you how

are you is Ann it’s just a 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

pop a blog 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 welcome you’re

welcome when someone says thank you you

can say you’re welcome

no biggie I use no biggie as in no

biggie is short for no big problem next

word is yes yes of course yes means is

any positive 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 a new 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 it’s 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 bla bla bla 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

you’re 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 would 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

on so it’s a really good practice for

your intonation me is the first English

and like to talk about how much we enjoy

something if you say I love watching

if you’ve provided a service to somebody

you can say are you satisfied proud if

you feel very good about an

accomplishment or someone else has

accomplished something and they’re happy

about it we use the word proud to

describe that feeling so maybe I studied

for a few months and I passed a test

that was really difficult for me I feel

so proud or let’s see my students have

been studying for a few years and their

conversation skills have improved so

much that we can have fun conversations

together I’m really proud of them yeah

if you’re proud you can say I’m proud

though be careful if you say I’m so

proud I’m so proud of myself I’m so

proud of myself all the time you might

sound self-centered

excited the next word is excited excited

this is usually before you do something

that you’re very interested in that

you’re very happy about like I’m going

to see a new movie today I’m so excited

or I’m going to try a new restaurant I’m

so excited it’s to describe that maybe

that kind of upward yeahyou feeling that

you have before you do something you’re

very interested in I’m excited you can
