In this video though we’re going to look at more ways that you can say, “You’re
3
10340
4410
00:14
welcome.”
4
14750
1000
00:15
after someone thanks you in English.

Let’s imagine you just helped a friend move into a new apartment.
6

00:27
When you are done helping them move all the boxes and unpack they will probably say, “Thank
7
27340
6110
00:33
you.”
8
33450
1000
00:34
And you can respond by saying, “You’re welcome.”
9
34450
2370
00:36
or you could respond by saying a few of these phrases:
10

It was no problem.
11
41360
1870

12
43230
1150
00:44
Or: No problem.
13
44380

00:46
All of these would communicate the same thing as saying, “You’re welcome.”
14
46690
4230
00:50
but in addition they’re letting your friend know that it wasn’t that big of a deal for
15

you to take time from your day to help them move.
