remember it's a

1:13

good idea to think of personal examples

1:15

that have an emotional connection

1:17

okay so without any further ado let's

1:19

look at the first

1:20

adverb undoubtedly so this means

1:24

certainly or without a doubt um so

1:27

obviously we use this

1:28

adverb when you're 100 sure about

1:31

something so maybe you're giving your

1:33

opinion

1:34

or it's just a fact um so if you're in a

1:37

conversation

1:38

and you want to emphatically convince

1:41

somebody somebody of something that

1:43

undoubtedly is a useful adverb

1:46

so an example sentence the number of

1:49

copied infections in europe

1:51

is undoubtedly decreasing so it's

1:54

completely certain

1:55

it's a fact basically i mean sometimes

1:57

it could just be your opinion but a very

1:59

strong opinion that you're completely

2:01

sure of

2:02

and the second adverb today is

2:04

astonishingly

2:06

so this basically means very

2:08

surprisingly

2:09

so something that is unexpected it's

2:11

2:12
