So I got this wine at the cheap German supermaket
"glocken.......??". - 3€ a bottle
NO DOUBT it's very, very bad
Hmm actually it's very nice.
hello and welcome to LetThemTalk I've got an advanced lesson for you Today. We're going
to look at how to use the expression NO DOUBT
It's a very useful English expression but one which
is very, very confusing. The reason why it's confusing is
Because when you use "no doubt" it means that
there IS some doubt....If you want to know why then the explanation is coming right up.
So what no doubt actually means is
"I think it's probably true"
or "I imagine" or "I suppose"
I does not refer to certainty
How we do this I'll explain in a moment.
But first let's have a look at some examples.
He's won his last 12 tournaments and no doubt he'll win again
She's a very unreliable person and NO DOUBT she'll be late again today.
We can also start a sentence with NO DOUBT
NO DOUBT they'll be hungry after their long journey.
So NO DOUBT is just an opinion as I said
It's what you believe to be true not what is true so you can be wrong
Dear Tarquin I hope you're enjoying your holiday
It's a beautiful day and NO DOUBT you're on the beach somewhere having a good time.
"No, my dear cousin, I'm afraid you're wrong I'm in sick I haven't left the hotel room in 3 days
If you want to talk about what we believe to be certain or what is considered by everyone
to be true then you would use WITHOUT DOUBT or THERE IS NO DOUBT
for example Lionel Messi is WITHOUT DOUBT one of the best
footballers of his generation (not "no doubt"). because everybody knows it to be true
There is no doubt than consuming too much sugar is bad for your health.
If you want to give even more emphasis to
the statement then you can use WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT
This is, without a shadow of a doubt the best Korean zombie movie of the year.
Ok thank you for watching and no doubt you'll be glad to hear that there are more English
language videos coming soon.
