Leavetaking
When you want to take your leave of someone it is often necessary to use
some introductory sentence such as:
(Well,) I must go (now).
I'm afraid I must be going (now).
It's time I was going/off.
I must be off now.
When you actually leave, you may say:
Good-bye. – formal, semi-formal
(Good-) bye for now. – semi-formal, informal
Bye (then). – semi-formal, informal
Bye-bye. – semi-formal, informal
Cheerio. – semi-formal, informal
See you. – very colloquial.
See you later/tonight/tomorrow/on Saturday/next week, etc,
See you at the theatre/concert/party, etc.
When leaving someone we sometimes want to be remembered to some
member(s) of his family or a mutual friend or acquaintance. The following
phrases are used for this purpose:
(Please) give my (kind) regards to...– formal
(Please) remember me to...– formal, semi-formal
Give my love to...– informal, for close friends and relations
B. Make up sentences using one item from each column. Make sure
that all the items in one sentence are of the same degree of formality.
