Key Sentences
Important phrases to remember and practice
Hi John, just wanted to confirm that the dripping faucet in the bathroom seems to be completely fixed now. Thanks again!
This sentence is a polite way to start a message confirming a repair. 'Just wanted to' softens the request, making it casual and friendly. Useful for follow-up emails or texts after service; 'seems to be' shows it's based on observation, not absolute certainty.
That's great to hear, Emily! Glad we could get that sorted out for you quickly.
A positive response showing relief and satisfaction. 'That's great to hear' expresses happiness about good news. 'Sorted out' is an informal phrasal verb meaning 'resolved.' Use this pattern to acknowledge feedback and build rapport with tenants or customers.
Yes, completely! The plumber was very efficient and left the place tidy. No issues at all.

Not at the moment, everything seems to be in good order. I'll let you know if anything comes up.
This politely declines further help while keeping communication open. 'At the moment' means 'now,' and 'comes up' is an idiom for 'arises unexpectedly.' Future tense 'I'll let you know' promises updates. Perfect for ending conversations without closing doors.
