It's obvious · It's expected · Everyone knows that
Imagine your friend tells you something super obvious, like "The sky is blue!" or "Eating healthy is good for you." When you want to say, "Yeah, no kidding, we all know that!" in a smooth, natural way, "That's a given" is your go-to phrase. It's perfect for when something is just universally understood or clearly expected. 💡
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression implies that what was just said is so basic or predictable that it almost didn't need to be mentioned. 😉 Use it to agree or acknowledge something as an undeniable truth, but be careful not to sound dismissive if the other person genuinely thought they were sharing new info! It's usually said in a friendly, lighthearted way.
When would you use "That's a given"? A. When someone tells you something surprising. B. When you are asking for permission. C. When someone tells you something everyone already knows or expects.
