do you use in my opinion every time you are in a conversation and you're giving
your opinion so watch this video because I'm going to show you the seven phrases
you must know to express your opinion in English coming up Hey friends, teacher Prix here to help you talk
to anyone anywhere anytime in English thanks for watching this video and if
it's your first time here consider subscribing because every week I have
different videos to help you become a better English speaker but let's get
started expression number one personally I think or only personally personally is
an option to in my opinion and here one very important thing guys don't pay too
much attention to the translation as I said these are seven expressions that
you can use to give your opinion in English there is some difference in
formality and I will tell you but other than that don't focus too much on the
translation focus on the situation and hear the context is opinion so every
time you're giving your opinion in English these are the expressions you
can use so personally you are expressing your personal opinion so personally I
think this is a bad idea why don't we try again personally I think it's too
soon to tell if this is going to be a good government or not we will have to
wait and see what happens so in my opinion it's too soon too early to tell
to know if this is a good government we will have to wait and see what will
happen so you see I could change and say in my opinion it's soon to tell in my
opinion this is a good idea or you can say personally I think this is a good
idea alright when you use personally you will need a verb okay
personally I think this is a bad idea personally I feel that I believe that
but personally is a great way to start and as I said you don't always need to
to use the verb after personally hey what do you think of Maroon 5's new
album personally I hate it so you see in this case I didn't use personally I
think or personally I believe I just used it personally expression number two it
seems to me that now this expression is a little bit more formal so I recommend
using this expression in more formal environments maybe if you are in a
business meeting or if you are maybe giving a lecture and or in a debate this
would be a very appropriate expression to show to give your opinion in English
here are some examples so I was talking to some colleagues and it seems to me
that our new CEO doesn't really know what to do about our next project I was
talking with other directors and it seems to me that our CEO is not sure of
what to do about our company financial problem you don't need to be answering a
question ok if you are in the middle of a conversation of a discussion and you
want to express your opinion these are wonderful expressions for you
to use ok it's not just to answer a question what do you think of the CEO's
decision well it seems to me he doesn't know what he's doing well maybe you were
talking to your colleagues and directors and you want to express your opinion
about your boss and in a more formal context ok remember or you are in a
debate and you want express your opinion about what someone else said so these
would be good expressions for you to use and in this case it seems to me would be
a little bit more formal number 3 to be honest with you now I like this
expression because you can use in any situation
formal/informal of course it depends on the conversation okay because here
although I am expressing my opinion I am being very honest about my opinion which
we should be actually in any situation if we're talking to someone and giving
our opinion we should be honest about it so this is a very nice way to start
expressing your opinion or to answer a question of some things someone said for
example you're with a friend and your friend just bought a new apartment a new
house and they asked your opinion about it so hey why do you think of my new
place hey man to be honest with you I think it's a little far from the city
but if you're happy with it I'm okay so here in my opinion it's a little bit far
from the city from downtown or from the city but if you're happy I'm okay I
could use in my opinion I could use personally I could not use the way I see
it it would be strange because this is a more casual conversation you are having
with a friend number 4 the way I see it huh I like this one the way I see it can
be used in many kinds of conversations formal conversations informal
conversations depending on the conversation okay more casual and fun
and exciting conversations no more serious debates and conversations
definitely okay just remember that just because a conversation is serious
doesn't mean it's formal okay there's a big difference here so if you're talking
about a more complex complicated conversation the way I see it would be
nice I have seen this expression being used in formal situations informal
situations that are not so informal so casual but are not too formal either
okay so maybe if you're having a serious conversation with your friend and he
really needs your help to make an important decision and this would be a
good expression for you to use and remember you don't need to translate it
you just need to understand that you can use it to express opinion
it means in my opinion okay so the way I see it bullying in schools will only end
when parents and teachers start working together on finding solutions to deal
with those kids so here I expressed my opinion in a very serious subject
which is bully which is awful so I said that the way I see it in my opinion
bullying in schools will only end will finish when parents and teachers start
working together to find a solution okay so in my opinion the way I see it bullying
will end when this starts happening what do you think and this is not necessarily
a formal conversation it's just a little bit more serious than if I asked your
opinion about the last movie you watched okay number five Oh before that are you
enjoying this video yes how about hitting the like button and if you find
this video useful help the channel grow by sharing this video on your social
media with your friends that way more people can learn seven really cool
expressions to express opinion that native speakers use all the time number five as
for me now this phrase is a little tricky okay to use this phrase I need to
consider that this phrase will only make sense if it's a follow up phrase if it's
a continuation if it's a response to what another person said so I can't just
start expressing my opinion with this phrase it needs to be a response usually
a contrast response to what another person said in the conversation for
example Peter wanted to sell the house right away as for me I need more time to
think about it the judges believe the criminal is innocent now I will continue
expressing my opinion which is different from the judges as for me I think that
man is guilty he should be in jail the judges believe the criminal is innocent
now the follow up now my response, my opinion as for me I think that
criminal is guilty or you don't need to say I think okay as for me he is guilty
this is a little trickier but it's very common and you can use in many kinds of
situations you could use in a formal situation now I would prefer other ones
but it's a very popular expression to express opinion just pay attention that
you need to be referring to what someone else said and it's usually a contrast a
different opinion number six in my view the way I see it in my view in my
opinion same idea for example in my view climate change is a very serious issue
that people don't seem to be very worried about so the way I see it
climate change is a very serious issue that people don't seem to be very
worried about to be honest climate change is a serious issue that many
people don't seem to be very worried about so you see I can change because in
my view the way I see it it seems to me that our expressions to use to give
opinion and finally number seven if you ask me huh this is a very nice
expression to give opinion this phrase can be used before you give your opinion
and after you gave your opinion for example if you ask me you did the right
thing about Peter you made the right decision you did the right thing about
Peter or I could say you did the right thing about Peter if you ask me so both
at the beginning or at the end first before you give your opinion or
after you give your opinion would be fine with this expression
remember these expressions mean in my opinion focus on that write them on your
notebook and next to them write explanation in my opinion in my opinion
more formal more informal that is the best way to study without translation
