0:36

got an advanced English lesson for you

0:38

today we're going to look at how to use

0:41

no doubt it's a very useful English

0:45

expression but it's very very confusing

0:50

and the reason that it's confusing is

0:53

because when you use no doubt it means

0:58

that there is some some

1:01

doubt if you want to know why then the

1:04

explanation is coming right

1:07

[Music]

1:14

up so what no doubt actually means is I

1:19

think it's probably true or I imagine or

1:24

I

1:25

suppose it does not refer to certainty

1:30

how we do that I'll explain in a moment

1:33

but first let's have a look at some

1:35

examples of how to use no

2:06

believe to be true not what is true so

2:10

you can be

2:14

2:33

in 3

2:35

days if you want to talk about what we

2:38

believe to be certain or what everybody

2:42

considers to be true then you use

2:45

without doubt or there is no doubt for

2:51

example lonel Messi is without doubt one

2:56

of the best footballers of his

2:58

generation not no doubt because

3:03

everybody knows it to be

3:04

true there is no doubt that consuming

3:08

too much sugar is bad for your

3:12

health if you want to give even more

3:15

emphasis to the statement then you can

3:18

3:22

doubt for

3:24

example this is without a shadow of a

3:28
