Descripción de AEE 237: How to Boost Someone's Ego in English with One Simple Word

Do you ever need to comfort others in English?
On today’s Tear Up Your Textbook Tuesday, Lindsay and Michelle teach you a simple trick for boosting egos and helping others see the brighter sad of unhappy situations!
 
When someone you know tells you something sad, but not too serious, there’s a trick in English to help make them feel better.  By putting ‘though’ at the end of a sentence, and raising the intonation, you can emphasize something positive about the situation in order to make the speaker feel better
 
Some examples of this include:

“My apartment’s too small.”


“But it’s such a great neighborhood though!”

 

“I made tacos, but I’m not a good cook.”


“But they’re really fresh and crunchy though!”

 
Have you used ‘though’ to boost someone’s ego?
How and when?
Tell us about it in the comments section below!
