But wait – why should you learn these expressions, when you
could just use “yes” to keep things simple?
There are two good reasons:
So that you can understand native English speakers,
because we use these expressions all the time. If you only know the
word “yes,” then you might be confused when you hear someone say
“Why not?” or “Be my guest!”
So that you can express your own answers in creative
ways. Some of these expressions actually add additional
meaning beyond a simple “yes,” so it’s important to learn types of
situations where you can use them.
Let’s get started with these 20 ways to say yes! Instead of
showing you a big list of words, I’m going to show each one inside
a little situation.
Now you know 20 different ways to say “yes” in English, in all
sorts of different situations – formal and informal, replying to
questions about facts, favors, and offers.
