need · would benefit from · want
Feeling a little drained or craving something specific but not in a super urgent way? 😩 This expression is perfect for politely hinting at a desire or a gentle need. It’s like saying, “A little bit of [X] would really hit the spot!” or “I'd really appreciate [X] right now.” ✨
💡 **Pro Tip!** 'could do with' is a relaxed and informal way to express a mild need or desire. It's softer than 'I need' and more about what would be nice or beneficial. Think of it as a subtle suggestion rather than a strong demand. You can 'do with' a cup of tea, a break, or even a bit of peace and quiet! 🧘♀️☕️
Which situation is most appropriate for using 'could do with'? A. 🚨 You are in a medical emergency and need immediate help. B. ☕️ You've had a long, tiring day and feel like a warm drink would be nice. C. 💸 You urgently need to borrow $1,000 from a friend.
