How to use O.K.
The word O.K., okay, OK, however you want
to spell it, is apparently the most used
word around the world.
It is extremely useful - there are many
ways to use it and it has a few different
meanings.
Let's have a look in detail in this blog.
Here are some misuses
I hear from my students:
Teacher: Do you have any questions?
Student: OK. X
(OK here means yes, meaning
you do have a question.)
You should say
- I'm OK. This means that
you don't need to ask a question.
Anything OK. X →Anything is OK.◎
Here are some ways you can use OK:
【As an adjective】
OK can mean acceptable
I fixed the problem so your car
is OK now.
OK can mean mediocre
(not good / not bad)
The fries were great, but the
burger was just OK.
【It can be an adverb】
How was my skiing?
You did OK for your first time
【As a noun】
It can mean permission.
The boss gave me the OK to
send out the new brochures.
【As a verb】
It can also mean give permission.
The boss OKed the order.
And finally
A-Okay!
This is a stronger version of OK.
It means that everything is good.
