you’d like this free PDF guide click in
the description below or up here it’s my
gift to you let’s talk about saying
goodbye the most basic way to say
goodbye is simply by but we often add
something else so i want to let you know
native speakers definitely do say buy in
daily conversation it’s not just a
textbook expression but we usually add a
little more because buy by itself feels
a little bit lonely so let’s add some of
the next expressions with by the next
expressions that we add with by our see
you later pop see you later bye see you
later bye talk to you later
and usually we use talk to you later
if we’re on the phone or if we’re not
going to see someone anytime soon
it’s usually something that we used for
Skype or on the phone not in face to
face situations so for me when I’m
seeing my friends I say bye see you
later because I’m gonna see them later
let’s add
or expression2 all the things we’ve
talked about so far bye see you later
have a good morning have a good evening
have a good afternoon we don’t really
use have a good night unless they’re
going to bed unless you know that
they’re directly going to bed this is
more of an expression we use for sleep
have a good night
that’s the last thing that they’re going
to do they’re really going to bed
so typically we use have a good morning
afternoon evening with all of these
expressions bye see you later have a
good evening really typical and I hope
you could use it too we’ve got three
more casual expressions that you can use
to say goodbye
the first one is have a good one have a
good one one here means day have a good
day
have a good one and actually people
often use this to me when I’m at the
grocery store the people who are working
at the grocery store when they say bye
they say bye have a good one they don’t
really say see you later because they
don’t know if I’m gonna come back and
maybe they don’t really know me
but they want to wish me a good day so
they’ll say bye have a good one
really common the next two expressions
are really casual they are bye catch you
later
catch you later are you really gonna
catch your friend later probably not but
we use this just to say see you later so
instead of C we use catch catch you
later and this is something I recommend
using with friends especially if you’re
in a casual environment a casual
situation I think that typically guys
use this more than girls but girls can
certainly use this too it’s not so
unusual for girls the final way to say
goodbye is also kind of funny and it
uses the word catch it is catch you on
the
side slip means turning flip side so
typically this means see you tomorrow
when the day changes catch you on the
flip side but it’s not always
specifically tomorrow it could just mean
see you later
but I recommend using this only with
people who you’re really close to some
casual friends in a casual situation
it’s really fun and it’s kind of a
little joke so make sure that you say
this with a smile catch you on the flip
side maybe you even say catch ya catch
you on the flip side you might hear
people use this in TV shows or movies
just a fun way to casually say bye so
let’s imagine that you’re sitting in a
cafe with your friend it’s a beautiful
day outside
blue skies it’s the middle of July
you’re loving the weather and you have
to say goodbye to your friend which of
these expressions would you like to use
feel free to use as many as you want as
I mentioned we often use them together

other’s comments this is a good way to
expand your knowledge and really
reinforce this vocabulary of course feel
