884 - Saturday Short - How To Use By The Way To Change The Topic In English
About this Episode
Hey there! It’s Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Saturday Short, your quick tip for speaking English better.
Today, let’s look at a commonly used conversational phrase is “by the way.”
We use by the way when we want to add something to the conversation, kind of like when we need to change the topic, or bringing up an extra point. It’s casual, friendly, and super common in everyday English.
Like of you’re at a party, catching up with a friend. You can say something like, “It’s great seeing you tonight. Oh, and by the way, how’s your brother doing?” OR if you’re talking to a coworker about something and you want to bring up another point. The conversation can go like this. “Yea, I finally finished that coding project this morning. Oh, by the way, did you get a chance to check your email?”
Using by the way is like saying, “Oh, there’s one more thing…” but in a natural, conversational way.
