Jackie: Hello, welcome to How to… with BBC Learning English and me, Jackie Dalton. This programme is about ways of saying goodbye… there are plenty of expressions in English you can use, other than just goodbye, of course and we'll look at some of the situations where they might be appropriate. Let's take a trip to the pub, imagine Alex is with friends. It's getting late and Alex decides he wants to go home. Example -Right then, I suppose it's time I made a move! Jackie: It's time I made a move is a way of saying it's time for me to go. He starts the sentence with right then. Example -Right then, I suppose it's time I made a move! Jackie: Right then is a way of getting attention and often signals that the speaker is about to do something or make a suggestion… Right then, it's time to go! Right then! Let's go shopping! There are several other expressions you could use which also serve as a way of getting attention, which you could use before you want to announce that you're leaving. Listen to these variations. Examples -Well, I suppose it's time I made a move! -OK, I suppose it's time we made a move! -All right guys, I suppose it's time to make a move! -Anyway, I suppose it's time I made a move! Jackie: Well, OK, all right guys and anyway are all ways of signalling that there is something you want to suggest or do - in this case, make a move. Listen again. Examples -Well, I suppose it's time I made a move! -OK, I suppose it's time we made a move! -All right guys, I suppose it's time to make a move! -Anyway, I suppose it's time I made a move! Hi all This unit is about different ways of saying goodbye. Do you like it? See you soon.
