All In A Day's Word
Sometimes the manner in which you begin a sentence speaks volumes about your character. Why not learn a more whimsical yet informative way of expressing yourself? This serves two purposes. A flamboyant way of talking draws the listener in, and it also transforms ordinary English banter into an delightful episode not easily forgotten. You are sure to be the star of the next informal 'get together' with your friends and co-workers by choosing your words wisely. The following examples are fun to use, and quite interchangeable depending upon the circumstances you find yourself in!
I shall present the opening sentence, and then provide a few examples that will show the versatility of knowing a good line!
