Practice · 3 min
Record Ananya's line "Um, I think so? I'm pretty sure I uploaded them on Monday." Let "I think so" rise like a question, then say "pretty sure" a little faster, as if you're convincing yourself. Play the model and compare. In real speech, "pretty sure" often means "not sure at all."

Use it once in a real conversation before tomorrow. Out loud counts, even to yourself.
