DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BET AND IMAGINE

Do you know what the difference is between I bet and I imagine?

The two terms are used in similar situations. Its the right time to go beyond I think and using
these new verbs will help us connect with native speakers.

Lets look at the differences between these terms:

I suppose: I guess, I am assuming, this one is more formal than I guess.

I bet: I guess, I would guess, I would bet. With this you are making a prediction such as I bet the
sun will come out by the time this recording is over.

I guess-this is casual
A: Are you going for a run today?

B: Yeah I guess. Theres not much else to do.

I imagine: this is less common, maybe more formal, you can also say I would imagine or I
cant imagine.

A: Can you imagine living in New York on minimum wage?

B: No I cant imagine it.

I assume: this is formal, drawing a conclusion

A: You didnt RSVP so I assumed you werent coming to the party.

B: Oh yeah my schedule changed.

The point is that these arent just used to replace I think when you are putting forward an idea
although that is one way you can use them.

Be flexible with them and look at the different ways these verbs are used in chunks.

Focus on chunks in native conversations then start mirroring the chunks in new conversations.
