10 REAL ENGLISH SENTENCES TO USE EVERY DAY
hey i am teacher tiffany and today
i am going to teach you 10 english
sentences
that’s right 10 english sentences that
you can use
today starting today that will help you
sound
more like a native english speaker these
are sentences that you can use
every single day are you ready well then
let’s jump right in now remember these
english sentences will help you
sound more like a native english speaker
so the first sentence we are going to
look at is right here
would you mind if i called you back
in dot dot dot one more time
would you mind if i called you back in
dot
dot dot now this sentence this question
can be used every single day think about
it
there are moments when you are doing
something and you’re a little bit busy
but then you get that phone call someone
wants to speak with you but you don’t
have the time
now you have to let them know in english
that
you’re going to have to call them back
but if you know
this question this structure you will
sound more like a native english speaker
so again you say
would you mind which makes it very
polite
would you mind if i called you
back in five minutes
in two hours in a week
so you can put the time period in that
last
spot so again i’ll show it to you would
you
mind if i called you back in and then
give the period of time
this can be used every single day and
again
it’s a question that we as native
english speakers
use every single day now let’s look at
the second one here’s the second
one you can use every day
i’m not quite sure i caught
what you said again i’m not
quite sure i caught what you said now
this is a two-part one
let me explain this part i’m not quite
sure i caught what you said
this literally just means i’m not sure
i understood what you said but
saying i caught what you said makes you
sound
more natural think about it like this
when you
catch a ball right it’s a similar thing
that happens when you
listen to someone and then you
understand what they said it’s like your
brain
caught the information so you can say at
the very beginning
i’m not quite sure i
caught what you said the next
you will say would you mind repeating it
one more time would you mind
repeating it one more time again i’ll
say the full thing again
i’m not quite sure i caught what you
said would you mind repeating it
one more time once again you’re seeing
this
would you dot dot dot when you add this
to a question
it sounds much more polite so as
a an english learner you’re going to
hear many different things and sometimes
you will not
understand what a native english speaker
is saying
in those moments you can say you can use
this
i’m not quite sure i caught what you
said would you mind repeating it one
more time
trust me the native english speaker is
going to be
so impressed with your english skills
and with the way you use this
combination of two sentences
because you will sound so natural all
right
so remember use this sentence and
question combination all right
every single day here we go the next one
number three is right here
thank you for asking but i am going to
pass excuse me to have to pass at this
time
again thank you for asking but
i’m going to have to pass at this time
thank you for asking i’m being polite
and saying wow i really appreciate the
request
but i am going to have to pass
at this time i’m actually rejecting the
request
but it’s so polite the other person will
not be offended
so again you can use this every single
day
people will request things from you
people will
ask you for things you can respond like
this again you can use this
every single day thank you for asking
let them know that you appreciate the
fact that they asked for
your help hold on i’m gonna drink some
water guys
delicious all right you could say again
thank you for asking
but i am going to have to pass at this
time you’re rejecting their request but
very very politely
all right here we go next number four
can i help you with anything in
particular
this is the part that’s added right can
i
help you you probably know that already
but
can i help you with anything
in particular this question is getting
very specific
hey i really want to help you but is
there
anything anything specifically that you
need my help with
this is a great question and you can use
it every single day
maybe you are studying with a partner
you’re studying english
and you recognize that your partner is
having a hard time
you can say hey can i help you with
anything in particular your partner will
then respond with
yes i’m having trouble for example
making long sentences in english
and maybe you are an advanced english
learner so you can help your partner
with that particular issue now i’m
teaching you many different
sentences many different questions that
you can use on a regular basis
every single day this is an issue that
many of my students have had in the past
so i actually created an ebook called
how to make
long sentences in english and maybe you
need this book as well
maybe you need this ebook to help you
make longer sentences
in english like an advanced english
learner so if you’d like to get the
ebook all you have to do is hit the link
in the description but
again this ebook will help you make
longer sentences
in english so again when you’re speaking
with your partner and maybe they need
the same help
you can say hey can i help you
with anything in particular you got it
right
particular meaning specifically you got
it
all right now let’s go on to number five
here we go
number five is hey how did things
go with dot dot dot this is a really
natural question here we go hey
how did things go with dot dot dot
what you’re asking is hey what’s the
update
did everything go okay how was the
presentation how was
the meeting how was the class how was
your project instead of saying how was
your project
another natural way of asking about the
project
is to say hey how did things go
with the project so again this is a
pattern a sentence a question that you
can use
every single day think about your own
life
maybe you have family or friends that
you see on a regular basis
and maybe they are doing something and
you want to know what the update is
i want you to think about that and today
i want you to ask someone
this question in english you can do it i
believe in you all right
so here we go next here’s number six
do you happen to know how to
dot dot dot again do you happen to know
how to
do again now you’re asking
someone if they know how to do a
specific
thing but instead of saying do you know
how to dot dot dot
you’re saying do you happen to know how
to do
dot this is another way of asking them
that question but
it’s a little bit um more polite
it’s also um teaching you again how we
speak we say this hey perhaps
maybe i’m just guessing but do you
happen to know how to
so it’s really a good way of asking
someone you’re guessing that they may
know how to do it but you’re not sure so
you’re adding that
happened to within the question at the
beginning so
hey do you happen to know how to
make long sentences in english do you
happen to know how to
give an introduction do you happen to
know how to write an english paper
you can create any sentence any question
using this pattern to ask someone if
they know how to do something all right
okay here we go so number seven is right
here
it was a pleasure meeting you i look
forward to speaking with you again
in the future one more time it was a
pleasure
meeting you i look forward to speaking
with you again in the future
now this is another combo right but look
at it
what we’re saying is hey man
thank you so much for speaking with me
and spending time with me
acknowledging that you enjoyed the time
you spent with the person
then you’re adding in the future
man i look forward to speaking with you
again in the future
this is a great way to end the
conversation
a great way to end a meeting letting the
person know you appreciate them
and then adding in hey if i have the
opportunity to meet you again in the
future
i would love to so again it was a
pleasure
meeting you i look forward to speaking
with you again in the future
so if you memorize this combination
again
you will sound more like a native
speaker native english
speaker you can use this every single
day
all right number eight i’m a little
swamped
at work i’m a little swamped
at work now this is one again very
very natural and we as native english
speakers
use it on a regular basis
swamped means extremely
busy having a lot of work a lot of
projects very very busy and
so busy that you can’t take anything
else on
so if someone says hey how is work going
you can say
whoo i am very or i’m a little
both are okay i’m a little swamped at
work
not too too bad but i’m kind of busy or
i’m very swamped
at work the key is understanding swamped
maybe let’s practice that real quick
after me swamped
good job last time swamped
excellent and it just means to be
extremely busy at work
when you say swamped at work alright so
again
i’m a little swamped at work and you can
take out the little if you’d like but
you know what it means now now number
nine
would you mind lending or giving
me a hand with dot dot dot would you
mind
lending or giving me a hand with dot
dot dot now remember we talked about
earlier
would you mind again adding this into a
question
makes it much more polite so would you
mind lending me a hand you’ve probably
heard that before it just means would
you mind
helping me or would you mind giving me a
hand
again it just means hey can you help me
but now we’ve added this last part where
you’re specifically saying
what you need help with here we go would
you
mind lending me a hand with
this box i need help lifting this
specific box again
i’m helping you become more of an
advanced english speaker
and that means you’re giving more
details you’re explaining
exactly what you need help with all
right so again
would you mind lending or giving me
a hand with this box this project
etc all right so let’s move on to number
- here we go
is there anything in particular
that you would like to dot dot dot
once again is there anything in
particular
that you would like to dot dot dot
once again this is something you can use
every single day so think about going
out with your friends
right and you’re trying to figure out
what to do
you don’t know where to go um you don’t
know what activity you’re actually going
to participate in so you can say hey
is there anything in particular anything
specifically special that
you would like to do like to eat
like to see you’re gonna use a verb here
right so
again it’s just another way of asking
someone hey
what about you what would you like to do
what would you
like to eat and again the pattern is
is there anything in particular
that you would like to dot dot dot
you can use this starting today now

alright i will see you next week in the
next lesson
have a wonderful week but as always
remember to speak
english
you still there you know what time it is
it’s story time hey
i said it story time
all right so i’m going to tell you a
story today about when
i was in the fourth grade yes
i was in the fourth grade i think i was
either nine or ten years old now
as you probably already know i was a
very studious
student it means i enjoyed studying i
enjoyed learning
i got good grades i always did well on
tests
i was that student now i enjoyed having
fun as well but
i really loved learning so in fourth
grade unfortunately
our teacher got sick so that year we had
lots of substitute teachers we went
through quite a few and you know as kids
when you have a substitute teacher
you’re excited because
you really don’t have to study too hard
because
the substitute doesn’t know everything
that you’ve been studying so you get a
lot of
recess time so we had a great experience
with our substitute teachers but
eventually
they did our school did find a permanent
a new permanent
teacher so i remember when she
opened the door and walked into our
classroom now
she was the short lady that’s the first
thing we recognized
we may have been in the fourth grade but
we knew that she was not tall
she was a shorter lady she was wearing
glasses
and she had kind of like a stern
this is what stern means right very
serious and a little bit maybe mean
a stern look on her face when she walked
in she said hello
fourth grade and we’re like hello and so
she walked in told us her name and she
sat down and she proceeded to
basically teach the class and let us
know how things would go
so she was a good teacher we didn’t
really like her as much in the beginning
because we felt she was so strict
right so one of her rules was
when you finish taking a test you need
to
bring it up to her desk and immediately
go back to your seat and put your head
down right put your head down
don’t talk to your friends put your head
down so okay
it was in our opinion we’re like this
rule is a little bit much but okay we’ll
follow the rules again i was a good
student too i followed the rules
i really didn’t get in trouble much i
got in trouble for like talking with my
friends but
nothing bad so anyways one day we had
this exam
so we were taking the test and i
finished pretty early
so i stood up very quietly i took the
test to her desk
she said okay go back to your seat sit
down and put your head down i said okay
so i walked back to my seat right
and i sat down and right before i put my
head down i remembered wow we bought
this new picture that was on the wall
and i just wanted to look at it again
really quickly so again
i sat down and i was about to put my
head down but i
looked at the picture i was just i was
an artist so i was very fascinated
um with beautiful things so i looked at
it really quickly
honestly it may have been for five or
ten not even 10 seconds
five seconds within that five second
period
one two three tiffany i heard my name
called and i was like
whoa so i looked at her and she said
tiffany come here now
i didn’t understand what was happening
so i stood up and i walked to her desk
and she said didn’t i tell you to go
back to your seat and put your head down
and i was like yes i was putting my head
down she said did i tell you to
lift your head up and look at the
picture and i was like
no but i was she said no and she gave me
at that time
i think it was was it detention i can’t
remember the punishment but i got
punished
for looking at a picture and even now as
a grown adult
thinking about that situation it still
baffles me i got in trouble
for looking for five seconds at
something and then
she called so anyways again needless to
say we did not particularly like her
during that year because she was
extremely strict she said i didn’t tell
you to look at anything i said put your
head down immediately
technically yes she was right but i mean
five seconds
so anyways i’m back to my desk of course
i was upset
i was not a rude kid though i just was
upset that i got
in trouble laid my head down of course
my parents had to find out and
everything
now fast forward again that entire year
she was a good teacher now that i’m
older she was a good teacher she was
extremely strict and we didn’t really
like her strictness let me say that her
strictness that year
however when we all trans like we all
moved up to fifth grade we all agreed
that we
loved her as a teacher and it wasn’t
because our fifth grade teacher was bad
no
she was great too but i think we
realized
the reason why she was so strict just
like a parent
is strict with a child giving the child
rules and things to follow
the parent is literally trying to guide
the child and i think
once we were out of her class we
realized that
so much so that up until now we
love her so much literally
what has it been 30 no 20 something you
know
30 years wow 30 years i’m getting old um
it’s been like 30 something years
and we still love her to this day when i
see her like i’ve seen her at some
event she’s still little she comes up
not even to my shoulder she’s really
little
when i see her it’s like i turn into a
middle school child i turn into an
elementary school student
i’m like hey how are you because i
really do love her
so even though that situation was a
little bit you know
as a kid you’re kind of shocked now as
an adult i
realize you know she was just trying to
guide us and help us understand the
importance of rules so
i hope you enjoyed that story maybe you
had a strict teacher when you were in
school maybe not
but you can let us know in the comments
