let's get on with the lesson
firstly let's discuss some common
phrases for asking how somebody is
firstly we have what's up what's up this
is quite informal and you're likely to
receive an informal answer number two is
what's new what's new
is asking for an update on what's been
happening since you last saw that person
number three how's it going how's it
going you might be wondering what it
refers to it refers to everything which
brings me on to my next one how's
everything how's everything you can also
ask how are things this is very casual
and very vague in general or how is life
how's life a slightly more formal one is
how's life treating you how's life
treating you or what have you been up to
recently now let's talk about common
phrases to respond to all of these to
say how you are the most common one I'm
fine thanks how are you if you are okay
not amazing then you can say something
like pretty good yeah pretty good or
number eleven if nothing's changed
everything is just the same as usual you
can say same old really if things aren't
going well then you can use number
twelve not so great really not very good
or number thirteen could be better could
be better or number fourteen if
everything's going very well but you
don't want to show off you can say
something that's very popular now which
is can't complain I can't complain
meaning others have it much worse than
me so I'm not going to say anything
negative about my own life now let's
talk about some phrases that you can use
to say thank you number fifteen we have
I really appreciate that or I really
appreciate it depending on the context
this is quite heartfelt it's slightly
more formal another formal one number
sixteen I'm really grateful I'm really
ever so grateful that's even more formal
number seventeen if someone has shown
you an act of kindness you can say
that's so kind of you or if you want to
imply that you are also going to return
the favor then you can use number
eighteen which is I owe you one
or I owe you big time now let's talk
about some common ways to respond to
thank you now I have got a whole video
on this which I'll link in the
description box but just a couple to get
you started
number 19 you're most welcome I much
prefer this to your welcome which i
think is so overused but I talked about
that in the video number 20
very casual no worries no worries 21
another favorite of mine
my pleasure which can also be shortened
down to pleasure which is very very
casual and number 22 any time any time
now let's talk about some common phrases
that you can use to ask for information
you can say do you have any clue or do
you have any idea those are
interchangeable do you have any clue
where the supermarket is or do you have
any idea about the homework this evening
or number 24 this one's lovely you
wouldn't happen to know X would you so
you wouldn't happen to know about
geometry would you or you wouldn't
happen to know William would you or
number 25 I don't suppose you'd know
something for example I don't suppose
you'd know where the taxi rank is and if
people ask you for information and you
don't know how to respond you need to
know ways to say I don't know so here
are some common ways of saying that you
don't know something 26 very easy I have
no idea or I haven't got any idea number
27 very similar is I haven't got a clue
and you will also hear British people
say I haven't a clue sorry I haven't a
clue it's even the name of a radio
program I think 28 sorry I can't help
you there or sorry I can't be any help
number 29 oh I'm not really sure I'm not
so sure and number 30 actually I've been
wondering the same thing or I've been
wondering too now let's talk about some
common phrases for agreeing with people
you can have number 31 which is exactly
exactly
or number 32 which is absolutely
absolutely I love this one I use it far
too much I think
number 33 usually said with a an
agreeing finger that's so true that is
so true or an alternative 34
is so right you're so right number 35 if
you completely agree with something
someone says I agree 100% sometimes
shortened down - i 100% agree a hundred
percent agree that's very slang that's
only in spoken English we wouldn't write
that thirty six this is very British I'm
sure it's used in American English but
it's something we say a lot couldn't
agree more
I couldn't agree more sometimes we get
rid of that first I couldn't agree with
you more
Oh number thirty-seven very informal
tell me about it tell me about it
totally agree it's funny because we're
not asking you to tell us about anything
but it's a common way of saying oh yes I
feel the same way now naturally we need
some phrases for disagreeing with people
and we usually like to do this in quite
a polite way so these are some polite
common phrases of disagreement we have
number 38 which is oh I'm not so sure
about that
I'm not so sure about that so there is
very important or 39 that's not how I
see it I don't quite see it like that or
number 40 we normally stretch this one
out not necessarily not necessarily
that's a great one Oh number 41 I can't
really agree with you they're like no I
can't agree with you there now one of
the most difficult things that we have
in English this is a huge problem for
British people is ending a conversation
because normally the other person wants
to continue it and it's very hard to
convey that you want to leave well I
have three lovely phrases to help you
with leaving and ending a conversation
in a polite way
number 42 a great one to say is well it
was lovely chatting to you well it was
nice chatting to you normally started
with well well it was lovely to talk to
you or 43 a word we always use is right
and then followed by I'd better be going
or I need to get going
or number 44 right I must be off I must
be off normally looking at your watch
and it's a bit awkward now that we have
phones because we often duck our wrist
uh-oh look at the time I must go no
watch it and now let's talk about some
common phrases for saying goodbye you've
ended the conversation now you need to
go
number 45 is speak to you soon or speak
soon
number 46 if you know their family or
their partner or somebody they live with
you can say Oh
send my love to your family or send my
love to Margaret that's a really nice
one we don't actually expect them to go
and say oh so-and-so sends his love
well we might but it's just a nice
sentiment a nice gesture number 47 very
basic bye bye or bye that's probably the
most common way that we say goodbye to
people
goodbye really isn't that commonly used
I've made a video about this topic as
well with loads and loads of options for
you for saying goodbye again links down
below 48 a very American one but we're
starting to use it more and more is you
take care now you take care now
probably in Britain were more likely to
say take care and the you and now isn't
so necessary 49 this one has exploded in
popularity it's have a good one
what is the one no one will ever know
but you make sure it's a good one and
number 50 is talk to you later talk to
you later and it can be made as an
acronym which is ttyl talk to you later
to deliver know you dope to say like
that just they talk to you later right
