30 Everyday Expressions in English

If you're learning English right now, you know how important it is to know the grammar. However, grammar isn't everything. It's also important to speak the language as much as you can when learning. This way, you can use the grammar and vocabulary in everyday speaking. But I know a lot of you are nervous or scared to speak in English because you don't want to make any mistakes. I get it. I've also learned several foreign languages and have the same worries as you when it comes to speaking. To help a little bit with that, I'm going to give you 30 everyday expressions in English that you can use in daily life and conversations with others. Hi, I'm Claire.

The most basic greeting most of you probably know is hello or hi, how are you? If you are greeting a friend or someone you know well, you can say, hey, what's up? Or how's it going? Now, how can we respond? If you're doing well, you can say, I'm good, thanks. Some of you might know, I'm good is technically grammatically incorrect. You should say, I'm well. But a lot of native speakers say, I'm good. And this would be perfectly acceptable in everyday speaking. You could also say, I'm fine. How are you? Or I'm great. You? If you're not doing so well, you could say, I'm okay. Or I've been better. Another option to describe how you are could be, can't complain. This means that everything is fine. And there's nothing to say really. It's neither good nor bad. Our next topic is how to thank someone. The easiest way is, thank you. You could also simply say, thanks. Or thank you so much. Or thanks very much. And here's how we can answer these phrases. The most formal being, you're welcome. Or my pleasure. Other more casual possibilities are, no problem. Or no worries. Another important topic to cover is asking for information. For this, it's also useful to know how to get someone's attention. We can say, excuse me. Excuse me. And here are some common expressions for asking someone for information. Could you tell me, for example, could you tell me where the bus stop is? Another polite way to ask someone for information is, do you happen to know? For example, do you happen to know where the bus stop is? If we want to answer these questions and say that we don't know, we can use the following expressions. Sorry, I don't know. Or maybe you're just visiting somewhere, so you don't know where things are. You could say, sorry, I'm not familiar with this area. Another useful topic is how to end a conversation politely. Maybe you met someone on the street, talked a little bit, and now you want to part ways. You could use the following expressions. Well, it was so nice to see you, but I should get going. Or I should really be off, but it was great to see you. Or I've got to go now, but hope you have a great day. If you really have to go, but you'd like to see this person again soon, you could say, I have to go, but let's get together sometime soon. Or it was great to see you. We should grab dinner sometime. And that brings us to our final topic today, which is how to say goodbye. The most common way would simply be bye, or see you later, or see you soon.
