Express Doubts and Uncertainty in English [11 Phrases & Idioms]

Рет қаралды 56,249

Күн бұрын

By expressing doubt & uncertainty, you'll get the clarity you need so that you can make the right decision and move forward with confidence.
There are 4 reasons why the ability to express doubt and uncertainty is important:
- You can help someone else avoid making the wrong decision.
- Indicate that you're not sure about something you've read/heard
- Get clarification on a process, topic, and/or important information
- Indicate that you need more time to think before you make a decision
In this Confident English lesson, you’ll learn 11 phrases and idioms to politely express doubt, share your concerns, and request more time to think.
Throughout the lesson, I’ll provide examples so you can practice.

Hello Anne Marie! I'm so grateful for your lesson!!! I'm studying on my own in order to take the proficiency exam so every video you upload is of great importance to me. I'd like to present you my example sentences : 1~ There's some doubt in my mind about that article l read yesterday in the newspaper. 2~ I'm of two minds on whether l should take the proficiency exam this year. 3~ Our cooperation is still in the air. 4~ I was determined to buy a new apartment but during the last month l got cold feet and decided to stay here. 5~ -Are you interested in taking up the advertisement department? - I really need to sleep on it. I'll give you my answer tomorrow.

Thank you Annemarie for this lesson. This is my favorite sentences stater: "I'd like to put some feelers out before I make that decision" I would certainly use this idiom with my kids 😅 We were going to Japan two years ago, but we got cold feet when we heard about COVID-19. I’m off two minds whether I should wear the red dress or the blue one for my friends anniversary party. If you are not sure about getting a sport car, you might want to sleep on it, buying a car is a big purchase.

As a critical care unit nurse I got an order from the doctor which I was uncertain about it. I could have said: There’s some doubt in my mind about how this medication would affect the heart rate. Could you please clarify that for me?

I am a bit perplexed due to my vocabulary complications, but certainly with the right modifications such as/ for instance the leverage we have with Annemarie’s KZfaq channel “Speak Confident English” she will be able to elaborate with a straightforward attitude, take away any ramifications we may come across, making it just a sensational journey.

I have some ideas about starting my own business, but I think I should sleep on it. It would be also good to put some feelers out before I make a decision. :)

You transmit calm and confidence when speaking. That's just what I need: calm and confidence to boost up my English skills. I get cold feet every time I have to speak in my English class....I'm not sure about anything: vocabulary, verb tenses, expresions, structures.....I even doubt my thoughts and ideas.... It's awful!!! Anyway, thaks for you effort. I love your videos. They're always so useful!!! 🤗
