Do you ever use the wrong word in English? It's a very common problem - and it affects students at all levels, from beginner to intermediate to advanced. These mistakes are especially common when the two words appear very similar - like "interfere" and "intervene" or "relation" and "relationship" - or when they seem to have the same meaning, like "problem" and "trouble" or "staff" and "employees." Today I'm going to teach you the differences between <a href= "https://www.espressoenglish.net/16-super-confusing-words-in-english/"> all these super-confusing words</a> I just mentioned, as well as a few more. I hope this lesson has helped clarify these super-confusing words! If you have any words that confuse you, let me know and I'll add them to my list for a future lesson. But you might find many of your questions answered inside my 600+ Confusing Words E-Book. You can see exactly what's covered in that e-book when you <a href= "https://www.espressoenglish.net/list-of-confusing-words-in-english/"> click on this list of all 600 words</a> you'll learn.

20 different ways to say THANK YOU in English

Today you're going to learn <a href= "https://www.espressoenglish.net/20-ways-to-say-sorry-in-english/">20 different ways to say "sorry"</a> in English. Why should you learn all these different expressions? Because they're used in different situations. There are many different times we might want to say "sorry," but we'd use different words depending on whether we spilled some coffee, or hurt someone's feelings, or made a mistake at work. Some of these phrases are more informal and casual, and others are more serious. This means you're not just learning a bunch of equivalent ways to say the same thing - you're learning what native English speakers would say in different situations, so that you can be more fluent. Now you know a whole bunch of different ways to say “Sorry” in English – for minor things and major problems, in formal situations and informal situations, and at times when you want to get someone’s attention or express sympathy. If you like learning how to use phrases inside real situations, check out my <a href= "https://www.espressoenglish.net/everyday-english-speaking-course">Everyday English Speaking Courses,</a> where all the lessons are based on situations in daily life. It's a great way to learn phrases in context!

20 different ways to say SORRY in English

Last week you learned 20 different ways to say "yes" in English, and today you’ll learn <a href= "https://www.espressoenglish.net/20-ways-to-say-no-in-english/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://espressoenglish.acemlna.com/lt.php?notrack%3D1%26s%3Dc2hheW5hLm1jaHVnaEBnbWFpbC5jb20%3D%26i%3D205A210A1A2252&source=gmail&ust=1595515315052000&usg=AFQjCNHrgkPDl6Ran5eFAwk6xTF7RA7g4g">20 different expressions for "no."</a> These are especially important to learn because we often want to be polite when declining an invitation or request – it sounds a little rude to just say "no."

This is just a very small sample of the many ways we have to say "no" in English – there are many, many more! <div> </div> <div>As you can see, these different expressions all add slightly different meanings. A lot of them are commonly used in some situations, but don’t sound natural if used in another situation.</div> <div> </div> <div>This is why it’s so important to learn words and phrases in context, so that you can use them the right way.

Worse vs. Worst (+ Expressions)

Do you know what color these words describe: maroon, fuchsia, hazel, and ivory? You probably learned simple colors like red, yellow, and blue in your first year of English... but the language has a lot more color words than these basic ones! <a href= "https://www.espressoenglish.net/advanced-english-vocabulary-words-for-colors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.espressoenglish.net/advanced-english-vocabulary-words-for-colors/&source=gmail&ust=1595514810068000&usg=AFQjCNFJKcTF_heC1o0xDj2kr12ICugMlg"> Today you'll learn 12 interesting vocabulary words for colors.</a> One quick note: Online, you'll often find very long lists of color words - but many of those are NOT in used in everyday English... they are typically used to describe different colors of paint, nail polish, or makeup, but they are not common in daily life. The words I'll teach you today are some of the more common ones. Expanding your vocabulary is a great way to become more fluent in English - because when you know more words, you can express yourself better and say exactly what you want to say.

⭐ Download the worksheet: http://bit.ly/miniexercise3 ✔️ Read the lesson text: https://www.espressoenglish.net/20-different-ways-to-use-the-word-break-in-english/ Hi students! It's day 3 of our mini-course all about words with multiple meanings, and our word today is BREAK. Get ready to learn lots of different ways to use this word in English. 1. The basic and most common definition is to damage something and separate it into pieces. Yesterday I was washing the dishes and I accidentally dropped a glass, and it broke. If you break your arm or break your leg, it means the bone has separated into pieces - ouch! You can break something by accident, as in the example of dropping a glass, or you can break it on purpose - if I have a big chocolate bar I want to give to three kids, I would break the chocolate into three pieces. 2. We also use break when something stops working, stops being functional, even if it's not physically in pieces. If your printer keeps showing an error message, and it won't print, you could say the printer is broken. ▶ Free E-Book: 500 Real English Phrases: http://bit.ly/FreeEbook500Phrases ▶ Espresso English Courses on Speaking, Vocabulary, Grammar, Pronunciation, & more! http://bit.ly/EspressoEnglishCourses ▶ Free Samples: http://bit.ly/EEFreeSamples ⭐️ Get a 50% discount when you join the Complete Program! ⭐️ 600+ lessons - http://bit.ly/CompleteProgram50discount --------------------------------------- FOLLOW ESPRESSO ENGLISH TO LEARN ENGLISH FASTER! - Espresso English Website: http://bit.ly/EspressoEnglishNet - On Facebook: http://bit.ly/EspressoEnglishFacebook - On Twitter: http://bit.ly/EspressoEnglishTwitter - SUBSCRIBE on YouTube: ➡️ http://bit.ly/subscribe2espressoenglish --------------------------------------- ABOUT ESPRESSO ENGLISH: Espresso English gives you clear and practical lessons to help you improve your English in just a few minutes a day.
