Emotions in English for advanced levels

Whether you are calm and composed in life, or, on the contrary, rather nervous and anxious, emotions and feelings are an integral part of every person’s life. They make human communication more rich and lively, more interesting and vibrant, adding certain colors and meanings that can't always be conveyed with ordinary words.

If English is a part of your daily or even professional life, you simply can't do without words that express emotions in English.

Emotions in English – an overview

Throughout their life, a person experiences a multitude of different emotions: you can feel overjoyed or excited, depressed or frustrated, happy or sad, or even experience all of them at once. However, if you need to communicate in English, it’s definitely worth knowing a small list of common emotions so that you can easily explain to others how you’re feeling.

Here are a few important basic English adjectives that convey emotions with example sentences:

• Happy – It seems to me that Jack looks so happy. 

• Sad – She gave me a sad smile. 

• Angry – Our English teacher was angry when he noticed we were cheating on the exam.

• Confident  – Just be a little bit more confident and everything will be okay! 

• Calm – She remained calm during the emergency, helping everyone stay focused.
