Many English learners stay quiet during meetings or group discussions because they worry about sounding rude. But sometimes interrupting is necessary — especially when you want to ask a question, add an idea, or clarify something.
In this episode of 5-Minute English Talk, you’ll learn simple and natural phrases to interrupt a conversation politely and confidently in English. These phrases are commonly used in meetings, discussions, and everyday conversations.
Important sentences from this episode include:
“Sorry to interrupt, but…”
“Excuse me, may I say something?”
“Can I quickly add something?”
“Sorry to jump in, but I have a question.”
“Sorry, can I just clarify something?”
You’ll also practice speaking these phrases out loud and learn how to use them naturally in real conversations.
