- Hello everyone and welcome back to English with Lucy.

- So, we are lacking a member of the gang, aren't we?

on the Real English with Real Teachers channel.

- Bedridden, yes, he can't get out of bed.

Okay, so you guys might have seen my video

if you wanted to see something about interjections.

you need a partner, someone else as well.

- Well, an interjection is a word or phrase

- Yeah, it's normally used in spoken English,

it can be used in written English as well,

like in stories if the author wants to show

We use that a lot in British English, don't we?

And the thing is, if you want to improve your conversation,

you really need to know how to use interjections

- Yeah, 'cause they're different in different languages.

So, today I've picked out my top ten interjections

Now, what does hmmm, when would you use hmmm?

- Hmmm, perhaps when you are going to think about something.

So, it could be great if you get asked a question

And it's something that I mentioned in my previous video

because a lot of speakers will say, ehhh, ehhh.

And this is simply because having your mouth open

in front of someone else is considered impolite in English.

Yeah, especially for students who are doing

like the IELTS and the Cambridge speaking exams.

say a British sound, not ehhh, ehhh, ehhh,

say hmmm, that's an interesting question, hmmm.

- Hmmm, yeah, yeah and you just sound more native overall
