Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every Saturday with a short, simple tip to help you speak English more naturally and confidently.And if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Michael on YouTube.Today, let’s look at a really common phrase you’ll hear in everyday English - “Does that make sense?”We use does that make sense? to check if the other person understands what we just explained. It’s a more natural and friendly way to say “Do you understand?” - which can sometimes sound a little too direct.For example, if you’re giving directions, you could say: “Go straight two blocks, turn right at the light, and the café’s on the left. Does that make sense?”Or, if you’re helping a coworker with a report, you might say: “So, we’ll send this out by Friday, and then follow up next week. Does that make sense?”It’s polite, warm, and shows you care that the other person understood you. So next time you’re explaining something, try ending with a friendly “Does that make sense?” - just to make sure!And hey, does that make sense to join me again next time for another podcast English lesson?
