How to say Thanks Back to English Basics Series
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm thank you let’s talk about
it
welcome to the third video in the series
back to basics because this month july
2017 is the month that my baby will be
born i thought we could use this concept
to go back to the beginning back to the
basics of english and build on some
things that you probably already know
and help you know which situations are
best for which expressions if you would
like to download the free PDF guide that
goes with this series you can have each
of these expressions plus a sample
dialogue feel free to download this it’s
in the description below this video or
you can download it up here at the top
it’s my gift to you
my baby gifts to you let’s imagine that
you download this free PDF guide and you
read it and you think wow this is really
useful thank you so much
vanessa why did you choose to say thank
you thank you well even though this is
the most basic way to show your
appreciation we use this all the time so
it’s not just a textbook expression we
actually use it thank you thank you so
much if you want to make it a little
stronger if you want to make it a little
more casual we can use our second
appreciation expression which is simply
thanks thanks if someone did something
really huge to help you maybe they spent
all Saturday helping you to move from
your old apartment to your new apartment
that’s a really big task so you probably
shouldn’t say just thanks you should
probably add a little more thanks a ton
thanks so much thanks a million you can
still say thanks but I recommend adding
a little bit more because if you just
say thanks
it’s too small for their big task that
they helped you it we usually use just
thanks if someone holds the door for you
if someone hand you something at the
store it’s not a big responsibility just
something small so you could say thanks
what if you want to be super casual well
a lot of people say appreciate it and
this means I appreciate it
maybe someone held the door for you
maybe you drop your groceries and
someone helped you to pick them up this
is something that’s not too big the
small thing but someone helped you and
you want to show that you appreciate
their help you could say appreciate it
usually it said pretty fast and
sometimes we even drop the a at the
beginning you might say appreciate it or
you could say appreciate it with just a
pea make sure that when you use this
it’s in a quick manner you’re saying it
pretty fast and it’s not for a big task
if your friend helps you to move to your
new apartment
I wouldn’t recommend using this because
it’s too casual and it’s too light it’s
for little things that people help you
with so now it’s your turn I want you to
use one of these appreciation
expressions in the comments below this
video try to use one maybe use all of
them and make sure that you review them
in the free PDF guide I’m looking
