We're re looking at the number one most useful English phrase, in the world, ever!
And I mean like ever!
Ever, ever, ever!
The phrase we're looking at today is, 'I'd love to but'.
This is a wonderful phrase because you get to say no to an invitation but you do it politely.
Ok, so we refuse an invitation politely.
let's look at an invitation.
So maybe my friend says 'Tom would you like to go to the cinema tonight?'
maybe I don't want to go for whatever reason.
I could say 'I'd love to but I'm busy tonight.'
So you get the 'I'd love to' that's the refusing phrase and then 'but I'm busy tonight' or
'I'm busy tonight' is the reason or the thing you are doing.
Now you'll notice that I'd love to that's showing them that you, you know, I want to
do it but I can't because I'm busy.
Alright it's time to practise.
Now I'm going to make an invitation to you, wherever you are in the world and I want you
to reject it politely by using a 'I'd love to but...' phrase and then some reason why,
ok?
Let's have a go!
'Do you want to get a coffee with me?'
Ok, let's try again.
'Do you want to get a coffee with me?'
Alright, good job.
Now I hope you that really politely.
You didn't just say 'No!'
I hope you used the phrase, I trust you guys, I trust you.
Alright, now please remember guys, oh!
