Different Ways To Say Thank You..

Thank You

“THANKS FOR… / THANK YOU FOR…”

First, we have our basic “Thanks for / Thank you for…” and these are followed by a noun or by the ING form of the verb. For example:

• Thank you for the gift.

• Thank you for helping me.

• Thanks for everything.

• Don’t make the mistake of saying “Thank you for help me” – if you’re going to use a verb, it needs to be in the -ING form.

“THANKS A LOT. THANK YOU SO/VERY MUCH.”

•If you want to add extra emphasis, say “Thanks a lot” or “Thank you so much” or “Thank you very much.”

•Note that we can say “Thanks so much” but we never say “Thank you a lot.”

“THANKS A MILLION!”

Thanks a million is an even more enthusiastic way to express gratitude.

• You can say this when you’re especially excited, or when the person really did something super great,

like, “You’re giving me free tickets to the World Cup? Thanks a million!”

“THANKS IN ADVANCE.”

We typically use this in writing, when we are asking someone to do something for us and we are thanking them ahead of time for doing it. If I’m asking a coworker to do some research for me, I would

say “Thanks in advance” to express gratitude for the work they will do for me.

“I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I’M REALLY GRATEFUL.”

• Use these phrases to express how you feel. You can also add on the specific reason, like this:

• “I really appreciate your patience.”

• “I really appreciate your taking the time to explain things.”

• “I’m really grateful for your friendship.”

“THAT’S VERY KIND OF YOU.”

• We can say this when someone does something especially generous or something that shows they

carefully thought about making us feel good. If I was sick and someone offered to cook dinner for me, I’d say “That’s very kind of you.”
