Hello and welcome to today's English lesson. my name is Stuart. in today's
lesson we're looking at how we use the word indeed in English let's go to the
intro now today's lesson is looking at how we use in deed indeed is one of
these words which is sometimes difficult for non-native English speakers to use
because it's difficult to understand when to use it how to use it and whether
you know how to use it correctly now this video was requested by this person
here and I'm going to show you how we use in deep and there's mainly three
ways that we can use in deed 3 there's another way but these are the three most
common ways that we can use in deed all right so let's have a look at the first
one now the first way that we can use in deed is to emphasize the word very with
an adjective or an adverb now we have three example sentences so we'll have a
look at these and we'll see how we use in deed in this particular type of
sentence so the first example is the meal was very expensive indeed
okay the middle was very expensive indeed so what we're doing here is we're
emphasizing very okay we're giving more emphasis to this word here so the meal
was very expensive indeed meaning that it was really really
expensive so we can substitute these two for really or extremely the meal was
extremely expensive or the meal was very expensive
indeed the second example similar they were speaking very loudly
indeed okay they were speaking very loudly indeed again they were speaking
really loudly okay we could also say and the third example that we have is the
fish was tasty indeed the fish was tasty indeed or the
fish was extremely tasty really tasty or very tasty indeed so emphasizing very
with adjectives or adverbs the second example is after B or an auxiliary verb
for confirmation or agreement okay example somebody says it's hot today and
you agree okay or you confirm what they say you agree or you confirm what they
say and you say it is indeed it is indeed hot okay
so it's hot today yes it is indeed alright the second one John played
really well today in his football game John played really well John played
really well somebody says to you and you replied he did indeed okay he did indeed
play very well okay so he played really well he did indeed and the last one did
you in the game indeed we did so I've changed the order here which we can do
we can say we did indeed or indeed we did we can change the order there so
it's hot today it is indeed agreeing or confirming John played
really well today he did indeed I agree with what that person says and did you
win the game indeed we did ok yes we did we did win the game and the third
example here is for extra information to support what you have said now this is
the most complicated of the three but we'll have a look how we can use it here
so Messi is a great player indeed he could just be the greatest of all time
so I'm trying to support or give extra information to support what I've said so
I've said that Messi is a great player indeed he could be the greatest of all
time ok I'm trying to give that extra information to support my statement
another example we are proud and indeed honored to have you join our team so
somebody has come to work in your company or
or has joined your team we're proud okay extra information to support this we're
proud and indeed honored to have you join our team so three ways emphasizing
vary up to be or an exhilarating formation or agreement from the last one
extra information to support what you've just said so one two three ways of using
indeed in English thank you very much for watching the lesson remember to
