hey guys what's up Stefanie the English
coach here from EnglishFullTime.com

Future simple

in this video I am going to share with
you 13 slang phrases that I use every

Past simple

single day now the interesting thing is
that I didn't even realize that these

phrases were slang until one of you
brought it to my attention

and you said hey I went to the United
States and I was really shocked because

people used all these phrases that I had
never heard before and when you listed

the phrases I was like oh my gosh those
are very common like I used those every

single day so I decided that I wanted to
make you guys a video to share these

phrases with you okay so they're slang
it's informal that doesn't mean you

can't use it at work okay if you work in
an office you can use these phrases with

your co-workers maybe if you work in a
call center or if you work for a bank or

something like that where you have to be
more formal with people on the phone

maybe these aren't the phrases you would
use but these are very common in

everyday conversation and like I said I
use them everyday so for those of you

who don't know I'm from California so
this is obviously American English and

expressions that we use in the USA so
the first one is it's all good it's all

good
this means it's okay so if for example I

was planning on hanging out with my
sister one day and then she calls me and

says hey Stef I'm so sorry I can't make
it you know my kid got sick or whatever

then I could say hey don't worry about
it it's all good so I'm not upset about

it I'm not disappointed everything's
fine

do what you have to do and then maybe we
can hang out later it's all good another

example of this is let's say I'm going
to my friend's house and I'm supposed to

bring drinks and we're gonna have like a
gathering a little party or something

like that and then on my way there I end
up forgetting the drinks and I just

start feeling so bad about it so I go
and I say hey you know I'm so sorry I

forgot the drinks do you want me to you
know go back to the store and get

something my friend might say oh no
Stef it's all good you know what

actually some other people brought
drinks so we're covered we're covered we

don't need anything else so it's all
good Stef don't worry about it so again

this means everything is okay the next
one is no worries this means don't worry

or don't worry about it usually when I'm
talking with people I don't say don't

worry I say no
worries so again back in the example I

just gave if I forgot drinks and I was
going to my friend's house we were gonna

have a party she might say oh no worries
it's all good

okay we'll just put all those phrases
together no worries don't worry about it

it's all good everything's ok so when
somebody accidentally does something

wrong or they forget something or they
make a mistake and if there's no problem

you know a lot of times you guys might
say oh there's no problem it is no

problem or something like that you can
just say oh no worries it's ok it's all

good the next one is sure thing okay
sure thing means yes

absolutely of course so hey Stef can I
come over later can we hang out yeah

sure thing I'm free ok next I'm good I'm
good

now normally you guys might hear this
phrase once on them says hi how are you

I'm good how are you or I'm doing well
how are you well I'm good can also mean

no thank you I don't want what you're
offering so again let's say I'm at my

sister's house and I'm having dinner and
she goes hey do you want seconds ok the

seconds is like a second plate of food
do you want seconds do you want more I

can say no I'm good I'm good this was
plenty thank you so much thanks I'm good

no thank you
I don't want what you're offering or if

a group of friends is planning to go to
the movies like in an hour they say hey

Stef we're all gonna go to the movies
want to come I could say I'm good I have

a lot of work to do later
no thank you I can't go or I don't want

to go I have a lot of stuff to do so I'm
good I'm good that's ok no thanks ok the

next one is I got this or I got it now
this can be used a few different ways

for example if I'm having lunch with a
friend and then someone comes and brings

up the check I can start to pay and say
no I got it I got it I got this like I'm

going to pay for this but it can also be
used to mean I can handle this I don't

need help
so maybe I'm lifting a heavy box and

someone says whoa Stef that looks
really heavy do you need some help with

that I could say no no I got it I got it
or I got this I don't need help I can

handle this I'm ok next we'll do this
means ok yes I agree so someone might

say hey Stef can you bring the
paperwork by the office later today so I

can sign it
say yeah sure thing will do no problem I

will bring the paperwork by the office
so when you're making plans and you know

someone asks if you can do something or
what do you think are you gonna be able

to yeah sure thing will do no problem so
it basically means we will do that or I

will do that next no way no way no way
that means wow that's interesting I

can't believe that are you serious no
way no way so this can be said in a

positive or a negative way like no way I
can't believe that that's awesome

or if something bad happens you can say
no way seriously they did that to you

are you kidding me okay next that sucks
okay that means that's awful I'm so

sorry to hear that
oh that sucks and I use this I say this

a lot it depends who I'm with you know
maybe I will say something else if I'm

in an environment where I feel like I
have to be more formal but with my

friends my family I say that sucks a lot
my mom doesn't necessarily like this

phrase so it's kind of a generational
thing you know some slang is used more

with younger generations than with older
generations so this is probably one of

those phrases that's used more with
younger generations so the next one is

for real for real this means really
seriously are you kidding for real they

did that are you sure for real so for
real again it's just like asking

seriously it can also be used as an
expression like that's crazy for real

okay so when you're asking for real
you're not always asking did that really

happen it's also an expression like oh
my gosh that's crazy right and my dad

has a way of saying this that's
completely different he says is that so

is that so I don't say that but I guess
that's slang too like that's what my dad

says he'll be like ah is that so
or is that so I don't know I can't even

imitate him because I just actually
never used this phrase I just say for

real okay the next one you guys might
hear me say sometimes I say what the

heck what the heck a lot of people say
what the hell but I don't like thing

what the hell because to me it's just
too strong and

I don't prefer it and I think what the
heck is just kind of funny also so I

just say hey what the heck what the heck
is wrong with you what the heck is wrong

with that guy what the heck why did you
do that what's going on what the heck so

what the heck just basically means I
can't believe this what's going on I'm

not okay with the situation I don't like
this what the heck

next nice if something is really cool or
interesting or you like it you can just

say hey nice that's awesome nice you got
a new job nice you got a new car nice it

looks awesome so again nice used like
that just means that's cool that's

awesome that's interesting all right
nice nice
