Thank you Clare, what a great explanation! I really didn't know that. I got always confused between them and never actually knew how to use them correctly or why people would say at one time "I got the feeling.." And then they would say "I got the impression…" etc. Now, I do know and with your help it's no problem for me any more. Thank you so much. Also for clarifying up my others questions as well.

I got the feeling / impression / sense that… (someone was listening to (our conversation).

I felt that = I thought that. "I felt that it was going to be a difficult meeting, so…)

I felt like = I wanted to. "I felt like going for a swim."

I suppose = I think
I suppose so = Yes, you can / Yes, you're right.

Hello again, I'd like to know what the difference between:

I got the feeling …
I got the impression…
I got the sense…
I felt that
I felt like

is and in which context best to use them because they all seem to have rather the same meaning? Could you explain this to me, please?

Also is there a difference between "I suppose…" and "I suppose so…"

What is the difference between:" I think so…"
"I suppose so…" "I would say so…"

If you could help me once again, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I feel that this lesson really helped me to express my openion.
In my view those who want to speak fluently should spend some time in this.
I tend to think that there is no such lesson available in website like this.
I haven no dought that many people must have liked this lesson.
What is your view about ?

I do believe that…= is a good expression for saying a strong opinion too.
