Responding to Hesitation

• Informal

...(surely) that’s obvious, (isn’t it ?), (say with a smile, and only to friends, it can sound rude)

It’s quite certain... I’m (quite) convinced/that...

• Formal (to older people or stranger)

I don’t think there can be any doubt about that

I don’t think there can be any doubt...

I’m fairly sure... There cannot be any

doubt...

Examples

A: There’s some doubt in my mind that

Britney Spears can really sing well without lip-sync

B: I don’t think there can be any doubt about that. She can really sings beautifully without lip-sync

• A : what do you think of the dancer, son ?

• B : I’m not all conviced that they had good preparation before, dad
