Daily Use Conversational Sentences
There are different ways of learning English speaking but one of the most effective ways is through daily use conversational sentences. The conventional way of getting to the meaning of a sentence in any language has been through translation. But there are a lot of sentences in every language which can’t be converted into English through translation. These can only be replaced with another sentence in English.
Here you will get ten sentences taken from daily life & an English sentence for the same. The sentences are given in Hinglish & in English. After every sentence you will get some related sentence, usage, idiom or phrase that you will find useful. Learners will do well to make note of these sentences & use these in daily communication.
The challenge for the learner of spoken English is that there are too many such sentences that we use in our daily conversation. The ideal way of getting rid of this dilemma is to make note of a sentence whenever you come across & use the sentence same day in your day-to-day English communication. If you don’t get an opportunity to use the conversation sentence with anyone, speak it aloud to yourself thrice & the sentence will be yours.
You can start with these sentences & keep adding more to your list. You can start with simple sentences & gradually add complex conversational sentences to your kitty. Some of the idiomatic expressions & common phrases also work as conversational sentences. Keep adding these too but make a sentence with these instead of writing these separately.
