Yes.

Well, the word Yes, in English is very, very flexible.

In fact, this word yes is used in so many situations.

But in English we have some old tornadoes for you.

So instant off using yes for everything.

Let's have a look at some more words In English friends, it's mean Harken back with a new lesson for you.

So do you want to brighten up your English today?

Well, yes. 00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:4.920 If you want to do that, then we have some older native ways to say the work. 00:01:4.930 --> 00:01:9.440 Yes, Well, generally we end up using the ward. 00:01:9.450 --> 00:01:13.210 Yes, way too many times in a day.

Now, the way we say yes to everything kind of gets a little boring.

Now, if you learning English, that why not learn some alternative ways to say the word?

Yes.

So here we have some situations for you where we end up using the word yes.

So instant off Using the word Yes.

Let's have a look at some options that you can use in your English.

The very first situation that I have for you is a response to a request Now, generally, when people request you to do something, you end up saying yes or you end up saying yes, I will do that. 00:01:58.910 --> 00:02:0.800 It's kind of a little boring. 00:02:0.980 --> 00:02:5.440 So let's learn some different phrases that you can use now. 00:02:5.440 --> 00:02:10.260 These are very commonly used by many people on their very basic.

So therefore it's easy to learn.

So the first phrase that I have for you is off course.

So, for example, your boss requests you to do something or rather commands you to do something.

Well, the best reply that you can give is of course.

Okay, so that shows your willingness to do something rather than just saying yes, I can do that for you.

You can use the phrase off course, for example, he say's that Hey, would you be able to some of this project by this Thursday?

You can say, of course.

All right.

Moving on to another phrase that you can use when someone requests you to do something. 00:02:59.290 --> 00:03:0.730 Sure I can. 00:03:1.300 --> 00:03:10.810 Now this phrase shows the enthusiasm in you Now, when someone requests you to do something and you agreed to do it.

Now it's important for you to show that enthusiasm in you.

So rather than just saying the boring Yes, I'll do that for you.

You can use the phrase.

Sure I can.

Okay, so this kind of gives a very positive impact on the other person who has put in a request.

And another phrase that you can use is no problem or no issues.

So, for example, your offense friends say's that.

Hey, I am out of town.

Would it be possible for you to go visit my mom at least once a week?

And you are totally okay with it? 00:03:59.630 --> 00:04:4.900 So rather than just saying yes, you can say, Oh, no problem or no issues. 00:04:5.090 --> 00:04:10.790 So which means that yes, you will visit his mom on a weekly basis.

All right, so remember, if someone requests you to do something, your response can be off course.

Sure, I can.

No problem are no issues.

Okay.

Moving on to another situation that we come across on a daily basis is response to an offer.

So here I'm not talking about a job offer, but an offer of Aaron, for example, you are visiting someone and someone offers you something to drink or to eat, or someone is going out and offers you to join in with them.

Then how would you respond?

Yes, generally, if you really want to join them Or if you really want to eat or drink something, you end up saying yes, but better phrases that you can use in English are I would love that.

So, for example, your friend comes and tells you that Hey, I have the football match tickets.

Do you want to join us?

And you are really excited about this because you always wanted to go watch football life.

And hence, rather than just saying yes, you can use the phrase.

Oh, I would love that.

Okay, So this is one of good phrase that you can use to respond to an offer.

Another one is You bet.

So friend asks you that.

Hey, do you want to come for dinner this weekend and yes.

You want to go for the dinner so you can use the phrase?

You bet So rather than saying yes, I would. 00:05:58.710 --> 00:06:5.750 You can use the phrase you bet and then another one, which is quite informal. 00:06:5.760 --> 00:06:14.090 OK, remember, it's Do not use it at your workplace.

Just use it with your family and friends, which is all righty.

Okay, so again, someone say, Is that Hey, would you like to have a glass of wine?

And you would like to have so you can use this phrase informally.

Alrighty.

Okay, so which means that yes, he would like to have a glass off.

Why, right?

Let's move on to another situation.

Therein be commonly, end up using the word Yes is when we are expressing agreement.

Now, here.

When I say expressing agreement.

What?

I mean ISS, you know, when someone is making a point and you totally agree with it. 00:06:58.540 --> 00:07:2.320 So what are the terms that you can use rather than saying yes? 00:07:2.320 --> 00:07:2.960 Yes. 00:07:3.320 --> 00:07:5.250 Well, that's what we're gonna look at. 00:07:5.890 --> 00:07:16.290 For example, Someone say, is that um hey, it was such a great weekend and you totally agree to this.

So rather than saying yes, it was a great weekend.

You can use the phrase.

Sure.

Waas.

Okay, so of course, when you end up using the word waas well, you're talking about a past event.

So if someone says that What a wonderful weekend it waas and you agree with it so you can say Sure, waas another one that you can say is like, Totally so maybe someone, um, is in a presentation and making a point on you agree with it.

And you would like to acknowledge that point then A great word to use in English is totally, for example, your boss say's that, um, you know, the company sales have bean great this year, But as a matter of fact, it's important for us to work hard and put in all our efforts to do much, much better.

And you agree with what he just said.

So you would like to acknowledge it and you can say totally.

Okay, that's the word that you can use next one.

I hear you.

Now, this is a great phrase to use when you are acknowledging someone.

So even if you're talking to a person, um, up front or you were over the phone and you would like to acknowledge people just say yes.

Yes.

All right, well, you can use the phrase I hear you, okay. 00:08:52.640 --> 00:09:3.370 And another one is a very positive word in English which is definitely again when someone is expressing, you know. 00:09:3.380 --> 00:09:9.010 Ah, positive point about something, and you totally agree with it. 00:09:9.080 --> 00:09:12.680 Then you can use the word definitely.

Okay.

All right.

So these are the three situations that we commonly come across where we have to end up using the flexible word.

Yes, but now you have more options.

And I would also like to add some slag terms to this.

So not just saying yes is a very common thing.

But these days, even teenagers and even a lot off older people end up using a lot of slang terms that expresses the word.

Yes.

So here are a few.

I have social, so full show is actually for sure.

Okay, but this is a slang which is for show. 00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:4.900 So when you talk to young people and for example, you're saying that Oh, the movie was just amazing. 00:10:4.900 --> 00:10:13.090 And the other person says Foe show so full show is actually a slang term, but the real meaning off it is for sure.

Okay.

So use it instead of just saying the word.

Yes.

Another slang term that you can use or which is commonly used by many people is?

Yep.

Yep.

Well, you do this for me?

Yep.

Hey, can I borrow some money from you?

Yep.

Okay, so this is another slang term on now.

The one is Yeah.

So people always use this, like, rather than just saying yes, They end up saying Yeah, well, you're wearing such a nice dress.

Yeah, Thank you.

Okay.

And then we have yea well, yea is originally used when you are cheering someone, okay? 00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:0.770 It's like you're cheering for someone or you're really excited about something. 00:11:0.770 --> 00:11:5.990 It's kind of an interjection, but it is also a slang term used for the word. 00:11:6.000 --> 00:11:6.700 Yes. 00:11:6.930 --> 00:11:11.980 So instead of saying that yes, people also end up using the work.

Yea, but remember, this is a slang term.

So therefore, just use it with your friends or family members, which means that you use it in in formal situations.

All right, so these are the three situations and these are certain slang terms that you can use instant off using the work.

Yes.

So I hope you got this And you will start using all these words and I'll be back with a new lesson soon.
