 Hey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I’m here every Saturday with a short, simple tip to help you speak English more naturally and confidently. And by the way, if you want to watch this lesson, just look for Happy English Podcast on YouTube.

Today, let’s look at a really natural conversational expression - “sure enough.” Sure enough means, “as expected.” We use sure enough to talk about something that happened exactly the way we thought it would.
  • Like, “I was wondering if Jack would come late to the meeting - and sure enough, he did.”
  • And yesterday, on the way to the bakery, I was wondering if they would still have sesame bagels left, and when I got there, sure enough, they were sold out.
  • Here’s one more. The weather looked iffy all morning and sure enough, it started pouring during lunch.
Again, sure enough is not negative or positive. It just means, “Yep… that’s exactly what I thought would happen.”


Try using this phrase in one of your English conversations this week. And hey - sure enough, I think you’re gonna sound even more natural when you do. Lemme know in the comments how it goes, and remember to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss the next Happy English Podcast and next Saturday’s English Tips in a Minute. Hey, thanks for listening - and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
