now that I consider it · actually, I just remembered/realized something
Ever had one of those 'aha!' moments in a conversation? 💡 'come to think of it' is your go-to phrase when something new suddenly pops into your head, or you connect a dot you hadn't before. It’s perfect for adding a new, often related, piece of information or changing your mind slightly. 🤔
This phrase is great for flowing conversations, making you sound really natural! It signals to your listener that you're about to introduce a new thought or memory that just occurred to you. It's often followed by a new point or a slight correction to something previously said. For example: 'I don't think I locked the door... come to think of it, I remember rushing out this morning!'
When would you most naturally use 'come to think of it'? A. 🗣️ To end a long conversation politely. B. 💡 To introduce a new idea or memory that just occurred to you. C. 😠 To express strong disagreement with someone's opinion.
