What am I going to talk to you about today?
Well today the important part of this we're going to look at ways to say that I am shocked in English.
So when we are shocked we're also surprised.
So ways in which we can say shocked in English.
So there are a number of ways to express being shocked.
Of course you can just have an expression on your face.
You don't have to say anything and people will immediately know by the look on your face that you're somewhat shocked by what you've seen or what you've heard or what somebody has said to you but there are lots of expressions and words that you can use so what I'm going to do I'm going to go down through them one by one then I'll go back through them and give you some examples so let's start I'm speechless I'm lost for words I'm flabbergasted I'm gobsmacked astounded so I am astounded staggered,
I was or I am staggered, stunned, startled, I was startled and taken aback.
Now a few of those are a little bit more formal than others and I'll explain those
as we go through them.
And then my jaw dropped and what else?
I jumped out of my skin.
Okay.
And finally there were some raised eyebrows, raised eyebrows.
