When To Use
What are other ways to say sure?
Sure, the simplest and most general of a group of adjectives indicating full belief and trust that something is true, expresses the mere absence of doubt. Certain suggests that there are definite reasons that have freed one from doubt. Confident emphasizes the strength of the belief or the certainty of expectation felt. Positive implies emphatic certainty, which may even become overconfidence or dogmatism.
