Daily English Upgrade #001: Say It Better — “I think so”

Mohamed Helmy

Quick upgrade for today.

“I think so” is correct, but it can sound a little flat. Try these instead:

Confident “yes”

  • Definitely.
  • For sure.
  • I’d say so.

Not 100% sure

  • Most likely.
  • It seems that way.
  • I think so, yes.

Yes… but

  • In general, yes — but it depends.
  • To some extent, yes.

Mini practice (20 seconds):

  1. “Is this the best option?” → ____
  2. “Will it take two weeks?” → ____

It’s much easier to make this natural when you practice it in real conversation. If you’d like, we can work on it together in a 25-minute lesson (supportive corrections, no pressure)
