In this episode of 5-Minute Vocabulary, you'll learn 5 natural English expressions for giving permission in everyday and professional conversations.

Instead of always saying “Yes” when someone asks for permission, you can use different expressions to sound friendlier, more natural, and more confident in English.

These expressions are useful when talking with friends, coworkers, customers, classmates, or anyone you meet in everyday situations.

5 expressions you'll learn in this episode:

• Of course.
• Go ahead.
• Feel free to...
• That's fine with me.
• I don't mind.

• “Of course, you can sit here.”
• “Of course, you can use my phone.”
• “Go ahead and take a seat.”
• “Go ahead and use my charger.”
• “Feel free to ask me any questions.”
• “Feel free to call me anytime.”
• “That's fine with me. You can leave early.”
• “That's fine with me. We can meet tomorrow instead.”
• “I don't mind if you open the window.”
• “I don't mind waiting a few more minutes.”

Quick Tip: “I don't mind” means that something is acceptable to you. So when someone asks, “Do you mind if I...?”, saying “No, I don't mind” generally means you're giving them permission.

🎯 Today's Challenge:

The next time someone asks you for permission, try using one of today's expressions instead of simply saying “Yes.”

Practice these sentences aloud and try changing a few words to create your own examples. This will help you use these expressions naturally when you need them in a real conversation.

Remember, your words can change your world!

Keep learning, keep practicing, and we will see you in the next episode.
