Easy English Expression 0503 but no~~~

Easy English Expression. Rehashed! Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions. Come on, let's master English! Hello everybody, how you doing?

Coach Shane here. Today, EQ number 503. Sometimes the words or the expressions that we learn... The vocabulary itself is really simple. I mean, we know the words.

We understand the words. But the problem is, many times, how we say it. How to say something can be really important. And that's the case in today's expression, number 503.

Enjoy. Let's go back in time. Today's expression looks really easy, but saying it and using it, you have to be careful. The expression is, but no. Yeah, just two words, but, B-U-T, and then no, N-O.

But the intonation, the way you say it, no, is very, very important, okay? So let me give you an idea. I was watching my university, actually not my university, but my home state university team play football, and Wisconsin, Wisconsin Badgers, they were playing Iowa, and they lost, and And they could have won, but no.

They made stupid mistakes. They had so many opportunities to win, but no. They had stupid mistakes. But no. Something should have happened, but no. There was a silly problem.

There was a ridiculous problem. There was some sort of tragedy. Another example, about a week ago, my internet wasn't working. And it was really frustrating because there's a guy that I like who teaches online and I wanted to watch his live class.

But no, my internet wasn't working. I could have been watching his class, his live class, and I could have been chatting and asking questions. But no, no.

My internet was not working. It's terrible. Yeah, it's true. And you know what? Of course, in this situation, my internet started working and his class just finished.

Oh yeah. Yeah. That's Murphy's law. Okay. I've got a great dialogue. So check it out. How to use, but no. Want some more KFC? No. I could have been grilling, but no.

Okay. Complaining. The rain is nice. I wanted hamburgers on the grill. Every Monday, I go to my mom's house and have dinner. And my favorite dinner is when my dad barbecues, when he cooks outside on the grill.

It can be hamburgers. It can be, you know, anything. I don't care what he cooks. If he's grilling, it tastes really good. I just love grilled meat. But believe it or not,

Sometimes it does rain in the desert. And when it rains, it's very difficult to grill. It's not that easy. And my dad will not grill in the rain. And this is the situation.

So we were going to have hamburgers on the grill, but it rained. So my mom bought KFC chicken. What the heck? Want some more KFC? No. I could have been eating hamburgers on the grill, but no.

It had to rain in the desert. It never rains. But when it does, I guess it's good. This is the idea. It's a good expression. But once again, you cannot say...

But no. I could have been grilling, but no. Well, you could say that, but it's no fun. I want you to say it like a real human being. Let's check out that dialogue two more times.

See if you can make your own situation. And once again, go to our community page and practice with somebody. Check it out. Want some more KFC? No. I could have been grilling, but no.
