Read the conversation and compete it with the proper forms of the nouns.
1.Why does the author talk about TTYL?
Because the author uses it as a good example.
B. Because people use it a lot.
C. Because some people use it in real conversations.
2 What does TTYL mean according to the passage?______________________
3.Can you give some shorter forms in English? What do they mean?
___________________________________________________________________
A
Talk to you later.
BRB. It means “be right back”
People don't always talk in complete words or sentences. Sometimes, they use shorter forms in place of the complete ones. One good example is TTYL.
TTYL means "talk to you later". It's another way to say "goodbye" or "see you later". People use it when they're leaving a conversation but will be back again soon.
TTYL often comes at the end of text messages, but some people even use it in real conversations. TTYL is really popular and you can find it in the Oxford English Dictionary.
