When you were in school, I think you would study lots of grammatical stuff like adverbs. But sometimes don’t you think there are seldom opportunities to use these words? Today I’d like to introduce 3 useful adverbs in daily conversation.
First, I can’t help introducing this one. The word “Absolutely” is definitely useful because you can use this word in speech as a forceful way of saying "yes" or expressing agreement. for example, "Would you like to see a movie tonight?" "Absolutely!" By the way, Japanese tend to use the word maybe instead, I recommend using the word “probably” if you want to express a kind of ambiguity of saying yes.
Second, I use the word “Gradually” so often. You can use “Gradually” when you want to describe something that happens slowly, bit by bit. It is useful because When you start living abroad, you will definitely be asked by someone “Are you getting used to living here?” Then, you can say "I am gradually getting used to living in Vancouver".
Lastly, I’d like to pick up the word “eventually” it means “in the end” and is also very similar to “Finally”. The reason why I wanna introduce this one is that it is very easy to end up with the stories that you want to tell. You know we sometimes have to tell a story about something. If you know this word, the length and degree of the story are going to be controllable. I have an example to use this word, like “Eventually, I did get better and returned to work.” for example especially when you got injured you can use it like that.
Eventually, I’d like to finish this episode today with this question. Did you get something new today? You might have to say “Absolutely”. I hope you are getting to use these words gradually.
