Pro Tip 1/3
Emotionally Deep
Use 'thankful' to express a deep emotional response, not just for casual gratitude. After the support during hard times, I am deeply thankful to you.
Pro Tip 2/3
Not Thanking Someone
When you’re just saying 'thank you', use 'thanks' or 'thank you', not 'thankful'. Thanks for the gift, not I'm thankful for the gift.
Pro Tip 3/3
Personal Gratitude
'Thankful' is often personal, used to show your individual gratitude to others. I'm thankful to my teacher for her guidance.
