let's go through the sentence structure i am  i am plus the adjective i am tired i am sad  

i feel plus the adjective i'm a little plus the  adjective i'm feeling i've been i've been feeling

and i got the sentence structure that i just  mentioned is how you would start and how you  

would go about expressing how you were feeling  it doesn't have to be so complicated you don't  

have to use some crazy vocabulary or grammar or  anything it's just i am i feel it doesn't have to  

be that complicated now to talk about the cause  of what made you feel a certain way there are a  

couple of ways to say that for example i get sad  when blah blah blah i get sad when a bird dies  

now another way to talk about what makes you feel  a certain way or who you can say he she they make  

or makes me feel happy sad angry you can also talk  about a situation or something that makes you feel  

a certain type of way so this or  that makes me feel plus the adjective  

now let's go through the vocabulary  of basic terms such as sad happy angry  

tired bored these are very simple ones what  i'm going to do is go through some synonyms  

and ways that you can express yourself a  little bit more fluent to sound more native  

ways to say happy delighted delighted ecstatic  ecstatic glad glad overjoyed overjoyed thrilled  

thrilled elated elated so depending on  the situation and the level of happiness  

you could switch these words around so if  you're really really happy about something  

you can say i'm overjoyed like to the point of  crying if you are happy about something like  

i'm glad that today is sunny you're not overjoyed  that it's sunny you're glad that it's sunny it's  

not super super happy like i mentioned in the  beginning i'm ecstatic elated i am excited about  

being in my new apartment so that's how you would  say that because i am very excited you don't have  

to say i'm very happy you can say i'm elated i'm  ecstatic and that implies that you are very happy  

ways to say that you are sad miserable miserable  down down disrupted disrupted depressed  

depressed upset upset unhappy unhappy bummed out  bummed out now let's go through how you would  

use some of these terms so if you're really really  sad you can say i am miserable like you are so  

so sad you can't get out of bed you can't do  anything that is being miserable or you can also  

say depressed that both of those things are the  same meaning they mean that you are very very sad  

when you're down again it's not like i said  in oh no let me do it again okay sorry when  

you say that you are down it just means you're  a little sad it's nothing like being depressed  

or being miserable you just kind of down it's not  you're not feeling it when you are upset you can  

say i'm really upset and that means that you're  very very sad or very angry so you can actually  

use upset in those two scenarios when you're very  sad you're like i'm really upset like i'm so sad  

or i'm really upset i'm really angry so  that word can actually be interchangeable  

and when you are bummed out you're like oh i  couldn't go to the concert this year because  

of covid so it is a disappointment but you're  not depressed about it maybe some people are  

ways to say to be angry annoyed annoyed  enraged enraged furious furious irritable  

irritable outraged outraged indignant indignant  infuriated infuriated so most of these mean that  

you are very very upset except for annoyed annoyed  is not being very angry but all the other ones  

means that you are really really upset or angry  about something i'm outraged i'm indignant that  

is all of those other words you would use when  you are very upset very angry ways to say tired  

overworked overworked sleepy sleepy drained  drained burned out burned out worn out  

worn out drowsy drowsy overworked worn out and  burned out those mean that you are really really  

tired from doing something repeatedly maybe work  the gym or a situation that is just not going away  

or something like that you could use that and  those are the most like the more extreme ways  

to say that you're very tired sleepy and drowsy  you're just maybe tired a little tired but nothing  

like being overworked or burned out those are  very very being very very tired now let's go  

through some examples i've been feeling really  depressed about what is going on with the pandemic  

but i am thrilled about the future that  it's going to go back to normal one day  

the people at the bank made me so furious when  they didn't want to help me i've been overworked  

at my new job because i have to work really long  hours my workout last night drained me because i  

haven't been exercising regularly and those are  a few examples of how you would express yourself  

and like i said in the beginning the sentence  structure is very simple so don't get intimidated  

by how do you say something how do you say how  you feel about something it's easy i feel i am i'm  

i this makes me feel x y and z don't be scared  to express your emotions because that is no good  

when you are trying to learn a language because  they make maybe it'll make you upset or angry at  

trying to learn a new language because you can't  express yourself finally let's go through some  

idioms and ways that native speakers talk about  their feelings i am on cloud nine right now  

after my date that means that you are really  really happy being on cloud nine means that you  

feel so happy after spending time with someone  or it's usually something about in the romantic  

aspect of things so when you hear that it  means that someone is really really happy  

another way to say that you're happy if somebody  asked how you doing somebody might say i can't  

complain not necessarily mean that you are  on cloud nine super happy it just means that  

that person has nothing to complain about maybe  you you can say i can't complain i have a good  

life or whatever the situation may be she got  riled up because of what she saw in the news  

riled up is to get angry or to get upset maybe  that person saw something in the news and she got  

riled up she got angry like something made someone  angry the guy at the store was foaming at the  

mouth about a discount or something that happened  with the clerk when you hear someone saying that  

someone is foaming at the mouth that is not good  foaming at the mouth it's not literal it doesn't  

mean literally foam in your mouth but it's maybe  when someone is so angry that they are speaking  

loudly and screaming because they're so angry i  get bored to death at work when it is slow and  

bored to death means really really really really  bored so instead of saying really or very you can  

learn these things about how to say something  that means an extreme so very bored you can say  

bored to death and that is what a lot of native  speakers say and finally i feel pooped after work  

it's funny i learned that like way later on  i was like what do you mean you poop yourself  

and no what that means is that you're very tired  you're pooped you are so physically exhausted  

mentally exhausted that's another way to say tired  exhausted and you just can't even say a normal  

word so you just say i'm pooped i'm so tired and  that is a vocabulary incentive structure that you  

would use to express your feelings and emotions  again practice a lot pay attention to what other  

native speakers say to improve your fluency and if  you need to re-watch this video as many times do
