Sian
I’d like to, but I'm really busy!

No, I'm just joking! Of course!

Bolam
Ha ha! Very funny Sian! μ—¬κΈ°μ„œ 첫번째 μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ 'I'd love to' κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ ν•˜κ³  μ‹Άμ–΄μš”… 라고 λ§ν–ˆμ£ . 긍정적인 λŒ€λ‹΅μΈ 것 처럼 λ“€λ¦¬λŠ”λ° 사싀 κ±°μ ˆν•˜κΈ° 전에 예의둜 μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ λ§ν•˜λŠ” 것이 λ³΄ν†΅μ΄μ—μš”. λ‹€μ‹œ ν•œ 번 λ“€μ–΄λ³Όκ²Œμš”.

I'd love to, but I'm meeting a friend then.

Sian
So we often start by saying 'I'd love to, but…' or 'I'd like to, but…' and then we give a reason why we can't accept the invitation. So if you hear 'but' and a reason you know that the person is saying 'no'.

Bolam
그리고 말할 λ•Œ κ±°μ ˆν•˜λŠ” 것을 μ•Œ 수게 ν•˜λŠ” 어쑰도 μ€‘μš”ν•˜κ² μ£ .

Sian
Exactly, so let's practise. Repeat after me and pay attention to the tone.

I'd love to, but…

I'd like to, but…

You can also just say 'I'm sorry, but ..'

Bolam
μ–΄λ–€ μ œμ•ˆμ„ κ±°μ ˆν•  λ•Œ 보톡 이유λ₯Ό ν•¨κ»˜ λ§ν•΄μ£ΌλŠ” 것이 μ€‘μš”ν•˜κ² μ£ .

Sian
That's right. Can you remember any of the reasons they gave? Let's listen to the three reasons again.

I'm meeting a friend.

I'm busy then.

I have to work.

Sian
So the first person said 'I'm meeting a friend' – it's very common to use the present continuous to give your reason. For example, you can say 'I'd love to, but I'm going to the cinema'.

Sian
Yes, but that can seem rude so it's better to give a reason if you can. The last person used 'I have to', so if you have an obligation you can use this form to give your reason. Let's practise that. Repeat after me.

I have to work.
