I have another useful expression for you today: “no wonder”. It is used when we want to express the idea that something is not surprising considering the circumstances. For example:
A: I’m so hungry right now. I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday morning.
B: Well, no wonder you’re hungry!

A: My sister is really upset right now. She just found out that she has cancer.
B: No wonder she’s upset! I hope she’ll be ok.

A: My friend is a great piano player. He’s been studying the piano since he was five years old.
B: Well, no wonder he can play so well.
As you can see from these examples, “no wonder” is usually used as a response to someone else’s statement that gives them more information about the circumstances. This is a very commonly used expression in English, so I hope you’ll be able to use it.
