  • Today we answer a question from Melsom in Iran.
  • 2
  • "How many ways can we say 'you're welcome?'... How can we reply to them in both formal and informal ways?"
  • 3
  • Dear Melsom,
  • 4
  • We thank you for your question!
  • 5
  • Let's take a look at the formal answers first.
  • 6
  • These would be ones that you may use with people you do not know very well.
  • 7
  • They include: "you're very welcome" and "my pleasure."
  • 8
  • Here is how two co-workers may use them when speaking with each other:
  • 9
  • Thank you for helping me finish the project.
  • 10
  • Of course. My pleasure.
  • 11
  • You may hear, "my pleasure" at a popular American fast food restaurant.
  • 12
  • The company might tell workers to answer with 'my pleasure,' when people say "thank you" to them.
  • 13
  • This is both a formal and kind way to speak.
  • 14
  • Now, let's look at less formal ways to say "you're welcome."
  • 15
  • They include: don't mention it, it was nothing, sure thing, anytime, and no problem.
  • 16
  • For example, suppose your friend helped you fix a problem with your computer.
  • 17
  • Here is what the two of you might say:
  • 18
  • Thanks for all your help!
  • 19
  • No worries! It's not a problem for me.
  • 20
  • After saying, "You're welcome," you can choose to add some of the other expressions, too.
  • 21
  • Thanks very much for the ride downtown this morning.
  • 22
  • You're Welcome! Don't mention it. It was nothing. It is easy for me to take you; I'm happy to help.
  • 23
  • And that is Ask a Teacher!
