Don't be afraid of cliched phrases - our language consists of them.
Useful English Expressions: Filling the Pauses
- Well is an analogue of our “good” or “well”. Only “well” is not in the motivating sense of “come on!” - in this meaning we use it at the end of a sentence, and at the beginning of a phrase - when we need to “play for time.” For example: “Well, tell me more about your plans.” - “Well, tell me more about your plans.” Another translation option for this word is “in any case.” For example: “Well, I am not good so good speaker.” - “In any case, I’m not such a good speaker.”
- Anyway - the translation options are the same as for well, but the use of anyway is typical for people from the USA. Example: “Anyway, John divorced” - “In general, John got divorced.”
- As far as - regarding that, relatively, regarding, how much, etc. For example: “As far as I remember you are planning to leave that job.” - “As far as I understand, you are going to leave this job.”
- By the way or a popular abbreviation of this phrase on social networks is btw. Translated as “by the way”, “by the way”. For example: “By the way, my boyfriend also likes motorcycling.” - “By the way, my boyfriend also loves motorcycles.”
These set expressions are common enough in English that they are worth spending your time on first.
Building coherent sentences
These colloquial phrases in English will help not only to break up the text, but also to logically structure your narrative:
- First of all - first of all. For example, First of all I’d love you to tell me about your childhood. - First of all, I would prefer that you tell me about your childhood.
- What's more - besides, moreover, and... For example: And what's more, your son fail his exam. - And, besides, your son failed his exams.
- After all - finally, in the end, after all, be that as it may, so be it. For example: She made a right choice after all. - Still, she made the right choice.
- Moreover - moreover. For example: Moreover, I don’t believe him. - Moreover, I don’t believe him.
Phrases for travel
How to learn English for traveling without spending a lot of time? A phrasebook is not difficult to find, but what is the best way to work with it? It is enough to remember a few template phrases, individual words in which can be easily replaced or used in other sentences - and you will already have a good active dictionary.
For example: I don"t understand English. - I don’t understand English.
Let's add a short word well (good).
I don"t understand English well. - I don’t understand English well.
Instead of simple well, you can use the popular expression very well (very good). We get:
I don"t understand English very well. - I don’t understand English very well.
Having analyzed these examples, you have already realized that “I don"t” means “I don’t”, and instead of “understand” you can substitute any verb in the initial form from the dictionary. Of course, it would be advisable to know that “I don"t” means “ I don’t” is only for the present tense, that is, with its help you can only say “I don’t do”, but you cannot say “I didn’t do.” But all this can be clarified quite easily with the help of a high-quality grammar reference book. Having a good vocabulary is important to navigate your travels, but grammar can wait. Your mistakes will be forgiven. It is indeed very convenient to implement a set of expressions that are understandable and useful to you by analyzing the sentences according to the diagram above. For example, try playing with the following phrases. Each of them will definitely come in handy while traveling:
How can I get to the airport?
(The verb get is one of the most commonly used, its main meaning is “to receive”).
May I (Can I) pay by credit card?
(In this sentence, the words credit card can easily be replaced by the short word cash).
Could you (Could you) help me a little (help me a little)?
(Similarly. The word help is very easy to replace with another verb.)
Where is (Where is/is) the supermarket (this supermarket)?
Look carefully at the first parts of these sentences (can I, how can I, where is, etc.). Using them, you can easily learn spoken English for tourists. Phrases, for example, could be:
Could you tell me…. - Could you tell me…
Where is the ticket office/shop/hospital? - Where is the ticket office/shop/hospital?
May I come in/help you/ask you/have another pastry? - Can I come in/help you/ask you/take another cake? (the word may has a connotation of permission “may”, “permit”).
The most common expressions and phrases
The following colloquial phrases in English cannot be ignored; they can be found in everyday life, in every film or literary work. They are repeated so often that it is impossible not to remember them. They are all quite general and can be used in a variety of situations. So:
Polite phrases
Conventional textbooks and English language courses, as a rule, provide good knowledge of grammar and allow you to expand your vocabulary, but with their help it is impossible to learn spoken phrases in English. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to them, because for most students they are the main difficulty when traveling to When studying the most popular colloquial expressions, you should immediately understand whether they belong to formal language, informal language or slang. Let's look at examples:
The first thing to start with is the question “How are you?”
"How are you?" - has a rather formal connotation. This is not so much a question “How are you?”, but an expression of attention, a greeting and a way to start a conversation. The standard answer to this expression, which you will never go wrong with, no matter how things really go for you: I’m fine, thank you. There are other options, it’s better to start them with “I’m” (I’m good/very well). Answers like “so-so” (So-so or Fifty-fifty) will be perceived as your desire to continue the conversation and are no longer so formal.
For the next three phrases, examples of direct translation are given, but they have the same general meaning - “How are you?” They are more casual than "How are you?"
“How”re you doing?” - “How are you doing right now?”
"How"s it going?" - "How is it going?"
"How"s everything?” - “How is everything?”
"How is life?" - "What's up?"
"How are things?" - “How are things?”
Another popular way to ask “How are you?” - this is the famous expression “What's up?” It literally translates to “What’s new?” This phrase is informal and works well when communicating with friends.
How to express gratitude and end a conversation
This is a must for anyone who wants to learn English for travel. A phrasebook of almost any author offers this option - “Thank you”. However, you can hear “Thanks” much more often. You may also be told "Cheers" or "Ta" (especially in the UK).
"Have a nice day!" - “Have a great day!” With this phrase you can end a conversation, letter, or chat. It is perfect for communicating with unfamiliar people. You can also use more informal expressions, such as "take care", "see ya!" (classically spelled “see you”, meaning “see you later”).
Popular abbreviations
In spoken English the following are often used:
- gonna instead of going to (getting ready to do something);
- wanna instead of want to (want);
- shoulda instead of shoud have (“should have done”, after shoulda you need to use the past participle);
- coulda instead of could have (“could”, after coulda the past participle is also used).
And now these phrases with translation in examples:
I wanna be a model. - I want to be a model.
You shoulda been there yesterday. - You should have been there yesterday.
I'm gonna visit Prague. - I'm going to visit Prague.
You coulda helped me. - You could help me.
Popular English expressions for keeping a conversation going
How to agree or object, communicate your opinion or express your attitude to the subject of conversation?
Let's start with the simplest: really? This short question, which translates as “really?”, will let the interlocutor understand that you question what he says, are waiting for clarification and are ready to listen to him again. You are right/wrong will allow you to clearly express your opinion (You are right/wrong). To start your thought, it’s enough to say: I suppose... - I suppose.... To agree or disagree with the interlocutor: I (don’t) agree with you. - I disagree with you.
How to learn spoken phrases in English? The most important thing for those planning to travel is the skill of listening. Put your textbooks aside. Of the four skills that characterize knowledge of the English language - listening, reading, grammar and speaking - it is the first that is important to you. By training your listening comprehension abilities, you prepare to become a good speaker. Remember how children learn to speak. First - understanding, that is, a passive process, then - speaking. So listen as much as possible. These could be conversations between other people, movies, radio, talk shows, and so on. Don't just watch movies, but do work. It is highly advisable to watch films with subtitles. Write down in English the words that appear in the film. Analyze them, check their meaning in the dictionary. Then watch the film in a relaxed manner, paying attention to the other words. It doesn’t matter what result you achieved or whether you remembered anything. Move on to the next movie and follow the same pattern. After a while, try looking at your notes. You will be surprised that much is already clear and familiar to you. This way, without particularly straining and having fun, you can gain a good vocabulary.
