0:14.0 | You and me every day, come on, let's master English Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression. |
0:31.1 | Today's podcast is brought to you by Pavel Melnikoff and Overlord man. |
0:39.0 | Oops, Overload Man. |
0:41.8 | Overload Man has been a listener and so is Pavel of my videos and lessons for a long time. |
0:49.1 | Thank you very much, guys, for sponsoring me, for helping me out. |
0:59.1 | It's, uh, it helps a lot thanks a lot everybody you can be a patron too and i'll tell you at the end of today's video now today's expression is really |
1:06.4 | useful if you are sure of something, for example, will it rain tomorrow, you believe that absolutely it will rain |
