How often do we say thank you to the one to whom we owe something or who has come to our aid at some point of time in our lives? Being a learner what should always excite you is to find new ways of putting your thoughts rather than relying on the same orthodox way of expression. To make your way quite easier I have tried to put down some expressions which can act as a substitute for the most used phrase “Thank you”.
Come on! Let’s have a breath warming learning experience with these twenty substitutes of Thank you.
1. I am very grateful to you.
Grateful is the word that we normally use for showing our heartiest thanks to someone who has come to our aid at some time in our life when we needed it.
