Thank God or Thanks God?

We’re going to fix a very common and funny mistake today and it won’t take long.

Do we say 'Thank God' or 'Thanks God'?

Let’s jump straight in and see these phrases in action.

God, I’m late and I can’t find my cell phone!

Oh God!

Did you call me?

Who are you?

I’m God.

Really?

But I thought God was, you know, a guy.

No, I’m definitely female.

What did you want?

I’ve lost my cell phone.

Well, when did you last have it?

I can’t remember.

Hmmm.

I’ll call it Ha!

Thanks God.

You’re welcome.

Bye.

Thank God she could help.

If we’re thanking people directly, so talking to them in person, we say 'Thanks' or 'Thank you.'

Here’s your coffee.

Oh thanks, Jay.

But if we want to say we’re pleased about something we say 'Thank God', with no s on

thank.

If you say 'Thanks God', it sounds funny because it sounds like you’re talking to God directly.

Thanks God!

You’re welcome.

So if you’re very pleased about something, make sure you say thank without the s.

Thank God I’ve found my phone.

And that’s it.

Make sure you subscribe and see you next Friday everyone.

Bye.
