hi everybody my name is Alisha and today
we're gonna be talking about the top 25
English phrases so let's get started the
first phrase is hello hello of course is
used as a greeting you can greet your
friends you can greet your co-workers
your family with this phrase just by
saying hello hey hi what's up hello so
yo pretty much any time of day you can
use hello hello the next phrase is good
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
goodbye 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 to 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 ok 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 you how you doing the next
phrase is I'm fine thanks and you if you
saw English in 3 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 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 I knew 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 out 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 copyeditors 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 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

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

straightforward phrase there aren't
really any short version so that's an
easy one where is the 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

office you can use this to ask
directions to ask for help in your house
or at work where is the copy machine

I need where is the blah blah blah 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 your 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
that
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 with 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 are oh oh and so
on so it's a really good practice for
your intonation so those are 25 very
