Some important everyday phrases in English

1. "How are you?" is a little formal.

People will often say the more informal:

"How're you doing?"

"How's it going?"

or "How's everything?"

They all mean pretty much the same thing really; the speaker wants to know if

you're OK.

You might also hear "What's happening?" or "What's up?"

These questions are asking you about your activities now – "What are you doing?"

2. "Thank you."

Of course that's fine, but people will usually say "Thanks." You may also hear

"Cheers," or "Ta" (especially in British English).

3. "Gonna," "wanna," "coulda," "shoulda," "woulda," etc.

Sometimes you will come across these in spoken English.

They are shortened forms of "going to," "want to," "could have," "should have" and

"would have."

They can cause a lot of confusion among learners so listen out for them. Again, they

are very informal.

4. "Have a nice day!"

I love this phrase. It's a kind of nice, happy way of saying goodbye to someone and

is often used if you don't know someone very well.

You will also hear the more informal expressions, "see ya!" (see you), "take care,"

"later," and "bye bye" as often as "Goodbye."

5. "Cool" is probably the most used word in the English language.

If you can start using this naturally in your English speech you know you are making progress towards sounding like a native English speaker!

Obviously these are all pretty general phrases and words but there are many more that are

used in particular situations.

How can you start to increase your usage of natural English phrases?

The most important thing is to listen. Listen to conversations between other people, listen to

dialogue in movies, listen to radio talk shows. etc.

A practical tip if you are living in a non-English speaking country:

Put yourself a target for each movie/radio talk show you watch or listen to.

For example:

Put a target of learning one or two new useful phrases on the next English speaking

movie you watch.

Then, during the movie, remind yourself to put attention on the speech of the

characters.

Spot a phrase that is commonly used in the movie, and is also new to you. Write it

down.

Clarify fully what it means. Use it a few times in sentences of your own. And try to

include it in your following English writing/speaking.

Learn some new phrases on the next movie!

This can be a great way to learn new phrases because you catch them in "real" life

situations. You get to see and note down how it is used. This can be very helpful.

If you hear a phrase and you aren't sure if it is formal, informal, or slang, the best thing to

do is either to ask someone you trust, or check in a good dictionary. Many good dictionaries

will tell you how formal a word or expression is.

If the word is a swear word, the dictionary should tell you. It may have the abbreviation

vulg (for "vulgar") next to the definition. You certainly don't want to start using swear words

in a formal situation, so it's good to be careful!

There are so many useful everyday phrases in English that no single article will be able to

help you with all of them, so just listen and practice when you can.

Overview and definitions Direct speech means to say exactly what someone else said. It is usually put inside

quotation marks (". . .").

I have the package.

He says, "I have the package."

Reported speech (also called indirect speech) means to say what someone else said,

without actually quoting them. Meaning, you don't necessarily use their own words.

You don't use quotation marks with reported speech.

I have the package.

He says he has the package.

Reporting verbs To report what someone said we usually use verbs such as:

Say, tell, ask, explain, request, etc.

For example:

She says we should go.

They told us to bring our stuff.

He asked them the time.

I explained her the rules.

The word THAT The word THAT can be used after reporting verbs to begin the statement. But remember – it

is optional.

You can use it or leave it out, as you prefer.

For example:

She says they are full = She says that they are full

I told them we could help = I told them that we could help

I suggest we start = I suggest that we start

How to report When you quote what someone else has said (direct speech) it's very simple: nothing

changes and you put the statement between quotation marks.

But when you report a statement (tell it in your own words), there are obviously some

necessary changes.

Reported speech – changes

Pronouns

If there are any pronouns present, you may have to change them.

Examples for when and how to change pronouns:

Direct speech Reported speech

She says, "I like ice-cream." She says she likes ice-cream.

They say, "you are right." They say we are right.

He says, "My name is Gary." He says his name is Gary.

Third person singular verbs

Verbs in the third person singular form usually get an S in the end:

I cook => He cooks

We talk => She talks

You have => It has

I am => He is

So when reporting speech we must apply this rule.

Examples for when and how to change verbs:

Direct speech Reported speech

He says, "I work every day." He says he works every day.

She says, "I am a big girl." She says she is a big girl.

Bonnie says, "I have a question." Bonnie says she has a question.

Place and time expressions

In many cases, when you report someone speech you are in a different place, and almost

always in different point of time (we usually report in the present what someone told us

before, in the past).

So we need to change the place and time expressions accordingly.

Examples for when and how to change place and time expressions:

Direct speech Reported speech

She said, "I work here." She said she worked there.

They said, "we are eating now." They said they were eating then.

You said, "she sings today." You said she sang that day.

He said, "I will come tomorrow." He said he would come the

following day.

A list of common place and time expressions

this that

these those

here there

now then / at the time

today that day / yesterday

yesterday the day before / the previous day

a week ago / last week a week before / the previous week

last month the month before / the previous month

next year the following year

in three years three years from then

Note: with these things, always use your common sense. If you are reporting something

that someone said ten minutes ago, and your location is still the same, and the time frame

is still the same, then don't change these place and time expressions.

For example:

Direct speech Reported speech

Ten minutes ago you said, Ten minutes ago you said

"we stay here today." we stayed here today.

Tense backshift

Backshift is the changing of a tense when reporting what someone said.

When reporting what somebody said in the past, the tenses of the verbs in the reported

statement go one step backwards.

I am sorry.

He said he was sorry.

Here are some more examples:

Direct speech Reported speech

You said, "we are late." You said we were late.

They said, "we have plans." They said they had plans.

He said, "I work hard." He said he worked hard.

She said, "I drink water." She said she drank water.

Here is how the tense backshift works:

Direct speech Reported speech

Simple present

Simple past

He said, "I eat cheese." He said he ate cheese.

Present progressive

Past progressive

He said, "I am eating cheese." He said he was eating cheese.

Present perfect

Past perfect

He said, "I have eaten cheese." He said he had eaten cheese.

Present perfect progressive

Past perfect progressive

He said, "I have been

eating cheese."

He said he had been

eating cheese.

Simple past Past perfect

He said, "I ate cheese." He said he had eaten cheese.

Past progressive

Past perfect progressive

He said, "I was eating cheese." He said he had been eating cheese.

Past perfect

Past perfect

(no change)

He said, "I had eaten cheese." He said he had eaten cheese.

Past perfect progressive

Past perfect progressive

(no change)

He said, "I had been

eating cheese."

He said he had been

eating cheese.

The backshift also works on certain modal verbs:

Direct speech Reported speech

Will Would

She said, "I will eat cheese." She said she would eat cheese.

Can

Could

She said, "I can eat cheese." She said she could eat cheese.

Must

Had to

She said, "I must eat cheese." She said she had to eat cheese.

Shall

Should

She said, "I shall eat cheese." She said she should eat cheese.

May

Might

She said, "I may eat cheese." She said she might eat cheese.

There is NO CHANGE in the following modal verbs:

Direct speech Reported speech

Would

She said, "I would eat cheese." She said she would eat cheese.

Could

She said, "I could eat cheese." She said she could eat cheese.

Should

She said, "I should eat cheese." She said she should eat cheese.

Might

She said, "I might eat cheese." She said she might eat cheese.

Ought to

She said, "I ought to eat cheese." She said she ought to eat cheese.

No tense backshift When the reporting verb is in the simple past tense, the verbs in the reported statement

usually go one step backwards.

However, if you are reporting facts or something that is still true, you can keep the verbs

in the present:

Direct speech Reported speech

You said, "the Earth is round."

You said the earth is round.

OR

You said the earth was round.

I said, "Rome is in Italy."

I said Rome is in Italy.

OR

I said Rome was in Italy.

She said, "people sleep at night."

She said people sleep at night.

OR

She said people slept at night.

Also, if the reporting verb is in the simple present, present perfect, orfuture, then there

is no tense backshift:

Direct speech Reported speech

You say, "I jog daily." You say you jog daily.

You have said, "I jog daily." You have said you jog daily.

You will say, "I jog daily." You will say you jog daily.

Reporting questions When reporting a question, you should also change the question into an indirect question.

In other words, you need to change this sentence so that it is a normal positive sentence,

not a question.

You can use the words if or whether for YES / NO questions.

Direct speech Reported speech

She asked, "Are you well?" She asked if I was well.

"Where do you live?" he asked me. He asked me where I lived.

"Why don't we meet?" she asked

me.

She asked me why we didn't

meet.

I asked, "How does she make

them?" I asked how she made them.

They asked, "where is the mall?" They asked where the mall is.

Reporting orders and requests When reporting an order or request we change them into an infinitive.

Direct speech Reported speech

"Go home," she told me. She told me to go home.

"Start talking," he told us. He told us to start talking.

"Stop right there,"

they ordered us.

They ordered us

to stop right there.

"Could you please open the door?" She asked me to open the door.

she asked me.

"Don't shout," I asked. I asked not to shout.
