When you need this

This review follows one long story: feeling well, meeting someone, getting engaged, planning a wedding, and living together afterward. Real conversations jump around this story all the time. A friend asks how your back is, then how the new relationship is going, then whether you're coming to a cousin's wedding. You need phrases from every stage, ready at once.

Read each phrase and picture who you'd say it to. Health and dating phrases are mostly for friends. Wedding phrases go to couples, venues and guests. Married-life phrases are for the people who knew you before. The grammar stays steady across all of them: present perfect for anything still going ("We've been seeing each other"), and short, kind reactions for other people's news.

If a phrase feels unfamiliar, go back to the lesson it came from, in this unit or the one before it, and listen again. Then come back and try the drill without looking.
