changing one's mind · reconsidering
This expression is super handy when you've just said something or made a decision, and then you quickly change your mind or reconsider! 🤔 It's like your brain did a quick double-take. Perfect for when you need a gentle 'oops, wait a minute!' moment.
💡 **Pro-tip!** "On second thought" usually introduces a *better* or *different* idea after an initial one. It's often followed by a comma, like: "I'll have the pasta. On second thought, I'll go for the salad." It shows flexibility and thoughtful reconsideration, which is always a good thing! 🌱
When would you most appropriately use the expression "On second thought"? A. When you're excited about a plan and want to confirm it immediately. B. When you've just stated a preference but then decide to choose something else. C. When you're trying to convince someone to agree with your initial idea.
