14 ways to say I love you in English
Harry
In today’s advanced English lesson, we’re looking at the theme of love. This is the month of February and it’s always gifts of chocolates and flowers, and romantic meals for two around St. Valentine’s Day.
Love should be in the air all year round, but they focus particularly in February.
Of course, it’s very commercial, but it’s really a good opportunity to demonstrate to those close to you why you love them and hold them so dearly to your heart.
So we’ve got 14 ways to say I love you in English. Some of these you can use directly with your loved ones, others you’d use in conversations with your friend about other friends who have fallen madly in love with somebody.
