Expressions of encouragement and congratulations


Expressions of encouragement and congratulations

This list includes expressions of encouragement or congratulations, currently used. Some are literary or antiquated. They can be used in formal and informal situations. The difference is that in the formal expressions one must use the subjunctive, whereas one uses the imperative for the informal ones. In formal situations we tend to use the third person singular or second person plural pronouns while in informal situations we use the second person singular pronoun. English expressions are only indicatives and are not necessarily used in the same cases. In the column "Informal" we listed some expressions to use only in informal situations.
