I Think Alternatives Flashcards
not be invited to my ex-boyfriend‘s wedding.
not gonna lie
I’m not going to lie
I’m not going to lie I was pretty insulted to not be invited to my ex-boyfriend‘s wedding.
Informal
I had every right to be there
In all honesty
In all honesty I had every right to be there
Formal
I should have been invited so it was totally fair for me to turn up on the day.
In my view
… the church service was wonderful but it was a shame I had to stand at the back
If you ask me
The Bride wasn’t really expecting me
As far as I can tell
Formal
… she should’ve been happy to see me and receive my support
To my mind (to me)
Slightly formal
… she totally overreacted and shouldn’t have cried
As far as I’m concerned
… I made the family photographs a lot more interesting
The way I see things/ it
… they obviously didn’t take me into consideration when drawing up plans
As I see it
… That everyone overreacted when I try to sit at the top table
It seems to me
They should’ve just made space for me in the first place
I believe
But the food was very good but it was a shame I had to share with my neighbour
I would say/ I’d say
…. very rude I consider it to be very rude that I was forced to sit down when I stood up to make a speech
I consider… to be …
No one knows my ex better than me so I should’ve been able to tell all of our funny stories
To me…
From my point of you the first dance cringe-worthy so I did everyone a favour by joining in.
From my point of view…
… That the Open bar made everything worse
It is my view/ belief that
I reckon the sixth gin and tonic tipped me over the edge.
I reckon (British)
… that if I hadn’t started cutting the cake, no one would have
I honestly believe that
… I probably shouldn’t have thrown my slice at the bride
honestly speaking… (informal)
I feel that my ex could have found a more welcoming bride with a better sense of humour
I feel that
… calling the police was a bit OTT (over the top: to an excessive or exaggerated degree)
Personally speaking
