Hello, everyone.
-
My name is Andres Herrera.
-
All of us have opinions on different topics, and sometimes we just don't agree with other people.
-
But how can we express our ideas without being rude?
-
Stay tuned.
-
What did you do at the weekend?
-
- I didn't do anything. I was just at home… - Gooaaaallll!
-
Arghh, team supporters are always so noisy.
-
Uncomfortable, isn't it?
-
This is another sentence you can use if you want to sound more polite:
-
Tend to be a bit + adjective.
-
For example: Generally speaking, football fans tend to be a bit noisy when they are watching football.
-
What did you do at the weekend?
-
Oh, I didn't do anything, I was at home and…
-
Generally speaking, football fans tend to be a bit noisy when they're watching football.
-
Notice that the second time I used Generally Speaking and Tend to Be, to sound less offensive.
-
Do you like children?
-
Oh no, I don't like them at all.
-
They're so spoiled and stubborn.
-
Mum, I want to play.
-
And the last sentence we're going to use is:
-
They can be + adjective + at times.
-
For example: Some children can be stubborn at times.
-
Do you like children?
-
Yes, I do like children, but they can be stubborn at times.
-
Notice that the second time I used children can be stubborn instead of saying that children are stubborn.
-
This makes a big difference when expressing opinions.
