      Misunderstandings often occur between people. To avoid them, in conversations we regularly tend to affrm when we understand, and, when necessary, use language that confirms we have been understood. This is done constantly in English conversation, particularly if we do not want to misunderstand or be misunderstood.  In this unit, let’s learn some useful expressions which affrm we understand something and confrm we have been understood about something.
