The Expression of Certainty
Asking for certainty
Informal:
Act out the following dialogue.
Nayla : I'm not in a good mood today. My white shirt is stained. I think it's better to use it for a cloth or something.
Sharon : No! Don't do that. Try my hints. First, put a paper towel under the stain. Then, spray the stain with hair spray. After that, rub the stain gently with a clean cloth. Continue rubbing until the stain is completely gone.
Nayla : Are you sure?
Sharon : Positive! I've already tried this tip several times and it works for me
Nayla : Ok then, I'll try it. Thanks so much, Sharon.
