Expressions - reacting to news
|
Hi!!!!
I�ve been talking to some native speakers and found myself saying " Amazing", " Incredible, Unbelievable, wow, etc all the time. BTW are incredible and unbelievable used in the same way? I used these expressions as a way to react to what they were telling me but would like to use more sophisticated ones...
Could you pls suggest some options?
Thanks in advance for your help! Ana |
