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
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

meaning you can say it to your friends
though like ah so once oh I love you
that’s fine that’s fine too we use love
and like to talk about how much we enjoy
something if you say I love watching
movies it sounds like it’s maybe one of
your favorite activities it’s one of
your hobbies it’s something that you
really really enjoy so think about that
when you choose like or love I love
cooking or I love let’s see try new beer
satisfy the next word is satisfied
satisfied usually we use the word

good
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
use this in the past tense to like I was
