Learn How To Show Interest In A Conversation In English
Jul 26, 2021 / English / 1 mins read

Learn in today's lesson some ways to engage in conversation like a native English speaker.

We use have you?, isn’t he?, do they?, etc. to show polite interest in what somebody has said:


 

Examples:

 

“I’ve just come from Frank’s place.” 

“Oh have you? How is he?” 

 

“It was beautiful every day of our trip.”

“Was it? That’s great.”

 

“Julie isn’t feeling very well today.”

Oh, isn’t she? What’s wrong with her?”


 

We can also use these short questions of auxiliary phrases to show surprise:

 

“Diane and Joe are getting married!”

“Are they? Really?”


 

Let's practice!

 

Write in the comments section sentences with this new vocabulary.

 

We hope this lesson has been helpful for you.
