Anyway, let's get started as you joined.

Please make sure to like and share the video so other learners can find today's lesson as well.

We really appreciate it.

I'm going to share the lesson.

And then I am going to begin.

The first thing we're going to talk about today is basic opinion statements, basic opinion statements.

So I'm going to give you the beginning of the statement.

And then I hope you finish the statement in the chats of send some opinion statement in the chat with this at the beginning.

So we'll talk about how to use each of these need to find the video so I can share it too.

And then we'll get Gil win.

Okay?

Our Internet having issues, I'm having issues.

Okay, so let's get started with the first expression.

The first expression is just simply, I think I think I can't share the video today.

What's going on?

The first expression is the most basic way to share your opinion with the expression, I think I think so.

This is just a neutral way to say your opinion, a neutral way to say what you have in your mind.

I think pizza's the best food.

I think, uh, this live stream has lots of interesting information, or I think Germany is a really interesting country to visit.

Whatever.

This is the most neutral way S O that means, like the bass way to share your opinion, to share your ideas.

I think something, something.

So this is the most basic one, so you can send a few examples with this one, but we're going to get a little more like advanced or a little bit more specific with next expressions.

So let's move on from, I think, because I think many people know this expression.

I think many people know this expression.

The second when I have here is I'm not sure, but I'm not sure, but so I'm not sure, but expresses a lack of confidence.

So that means I may be m wrong, or I might not have the right information, but I think something so we can follow.

I'm not sure, but I think something, something, something.

So I'm not sure, but I think the meeting starts at three.

Or I'm not sure, but I think our boss left the office today, so I'm not sure, but it's like maybe I'm incorrect.

Maybe I'm incorrect.

I'm not sure, but I'm not sure, but okay, some examples air coming in with, I think.

Great.

I think it is the best time to learn English.

Good.

I think Alicia is a good teacher.

Wu.

Thank you.

I think Chan Dream is the prettiest princess in the world.

Wow.

Okay.

Interesting.

Uh, good.

So I'm pretty?

I'm sorry.

I'm not sure, but I'm not sure, but so this but shows that you want to share your opinion, even though your confidence is kind of low.

So let's go to I'm pretty sure.

I'm pretty sure this is, like the opposite of I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure is like you have confidence, but not 100%.

So I'm this scale here for it, for these expressions.

Thes three.

I'm not sure, but is maybe, like, 50% yourself.

I'm pretty sure is like, maybe 75% or so.

I'm pretty sure so pretty here.

Doesn't mean physical appearance.

Pretty.

It means a fairly or a little bit.

Sure.

So I'm pretty sure something I'm pretty sure something.

So for example, I'm pretty sure Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States.

So I'm fairly confident there's a high confidence level there, so I'm pretty sure something So this is a little stronger than I'm not sure, but I'm not sure, but okay, Some other examples Air coming in?

I'm not sure, but I think she was sleeping from Bori on Facebook.

Very nice.

I'm not sure, but I think it might Rain could be okay.

Uh, I'm not sure, but Alicia did not take a shower today.

Alicia did take a shower today, at least.

Definitely didn't take a shower today.

Uh, I'm not sure.

I'm pretty sure that there is a difference between hi and hi there.

I'm not sure what that example.

Me, Uh, I'm pretty sure that this lesson maybe is a good a good way to pass the time.

Could be OK, Nice.

Uh, okay.

There's some interesting example.

Sentences.

Let's continue to this one.

I saw a question about this one.

I'm almost positive.

I'm almost positive.

Almost positive means I'm almost 100% about this idea.

Like, I think it's a fact.

It's there.

I'm very, very close to that.

So I'm almost positive is like 95% from these.

This is very, very strong.

Not 100% but almost very, very close to 100% sure of something.

So, like I'm almost positive.

Lady Gaga isn't married.

Actually, I don't know, you know?

I don't know.

Lady, is she okay?

She's not married.

That does control this.

Usually talk, so I'm almost positive.

I'm almost positive.

Lady Gaga is not married.

So something we're very, very close to cajole does his way into Bradley Cooper.

That's so I'm almost positive of something almost positive of something.

Means I have a very high level of confidence, like almost 100% sure of something.

Someone says.

Robson says I'm almost positive that English is hard to learn.

Ah Ah, yeah.

I think language in general.

It's challenging for sure.

I'm almost positive that you want to share your cheese gig.

That's a very interesting example.

Sentence.

I approve of that.

I'm almost positive that I'm going to get a promotion at my jobs.

Is Andre.

Wow.

That's good.

I hope that's true.

That's exciting.

Uh, I'm almost positive Donald Trump will lose the next election.

Okay.

Really interesting.

Nice one.

Nice one on Facebook.

I'm pretty sure you're an awesome teacher.

Okay, cool.

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

Uh, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get married.

Says meal on Facebook.

I'm going to get married is the correct sentence.

Uh, I'm almost positive that after watching your channel, I'll speak English.

All so sorry.

I'll speak fluent English very soon.

Nice.

Very positive Militia.

Nice.

Nice.

Nice.

Okay, I'm almost positive.

The lesson will be nice.

Great.

Great.

There are so many very nice and very positive example Sentences.

Great.

Excellent.

Okay, so let's move on, then.

We have these three kind of levels than of confidence.

Like I'm not sure.

I'm pretty sure, and I'm almost positive.

So let's change gears.

Let's kind of move to a slightly different way to express opinions with I believe I believe so.

I believe.

And I think are used in the same way to express like this really neutral kind of feeling.

But I believe is more formal sounding than I think so.

If you're in like a business meeting, for example, and you need to share something, share an opinion like I believe this information is true, or I believe we agreed on that at the last meeting.

Like I believe regular exercise is important for your health.

You can talk about a personal like a strong belief as well, so this is slightly different.

But this one will sound more formal than I think, and you can use it for something like a like a key idea that is important to you.

So I believe we should all work together something like that.

So that's like a key belief for you or in a more formal situation you can use it to mean I think I think, Okay, someone says, I believe that I am almost fluent in English, says Scibelli.

Nice.

That's cool.

Okay, I believe some people are talking about this for religion.

Yes, you can use believe for religion.

If you want to use believe for religion, please use.

I believe in.

I believe in, uh, like God or goddess or whatever.

You know, whatever is appropriate for your religion.

I believe in something.

I believe in an ism.

I believe in capitalism or whatever.

So believe in we use the proposition in here.

So if you want to talk about religion and faith and so on, use in, I believe in something I believe and you can use.

I believe in you.

Which means I have confidence in you.

I think you can do this thing.

I believe in you when you want to express Justin opinion.

Like a formal opinion, though, I believe plus your idea.

Okay, let's go to the last sort of sentence, beginner.

I don't think I don't think so.

This is just the negative of I think.

Yeah, the opposite here.

I don't think I don't think so.

Like, uh, something you think is incorrect.

You can use it here.

I don't think this data is correct.

For example, for I don't think our live stream starts it like 3 p.m. I don't think it's going to rain today.
