English Sentences Used in Daily Life - Basic, Daily, and Common Sentences

 English learners spend a lot of time learning complex grammar structures and advanced vocabulary and may end up with language that is too formal for day-to-day conversations.  Native English speakers often drop words, use the imperative and relax their speech when speaking English every day.  Daily speech is different from formal speech and common daily phrases may not always be taught in English lessons. It can be challenging to mimic this type of language in a study situation which means that most English learners are unfamiliar with daily English phrases. 

In this blog, we will take a look at basic, daily and common English sentences that you can add to your daily speech to sound more natural. If you're a busy student, you might want to make study easier. One helpful way is to pay for essay online which gets you expert help when you need it, so you can focus on improving your language skills.  

Why You Should Know Daily English Sentences and How to Learn Them 

If you want to learn how to speak English like a native speaker then it’s good to know daily English sentences.  There are many aspects to learning new vocabulary.  First and foremost, we need to know the meaning, the form and the pronunciation.  This will allow us to use the word correctly in a sentence.  However, we also need to understand the register of the new vocabulary.  Register refers to the formality of a word, phrase or sentence.  Some words and phrases are too formal for daily speech (and vice versa).  It’s important to learn how to use new vocabulary.  

If you constantly use complex sentence structures and vocabulary terms, you might sound a bit arrogant when speaking English.  Therefore, it’s vitally important to learn how English is spoken daily.  You can improve your spoken English skills and your communication skills by learning daily English sentences.  The most important thing about learning a language is to be able to communicate - so always start with the basics.  

The best way to expose yourself to the way English is used daily is to learn English by watching English movies.  English movies are a reflection of everyday life.  This means that the way the actors speak and the language they use is appropriate for everyday English.  Reading is another great way to learn words and phrases used in daily life - just be sure you’re not reading old English novels.

100 English Sentences Used in Daily Life

Below is a list of common sentences that native English speakers use daily.  English speakers usually ask questions, reassure other people, offer help or advice and give instructions when speaking daily. Questions are a great way to start a conversation or to check how someone is.  Statements like ‘let me know when you get there’ are little acts that show we care about the person who is travelling. Learning these questions and statements will help you understand English and be understood by native English speakers.   

Common Daily Questions:

We ask many questions every day.  From ‘how are you?’ to ‘can I help you?’ and ‘can you believe it?!’  We ask questions we want answers to and rhetorical questions too.  If you want to master daily English phrases then learn how to ask questions.
