Useful expression: PUES....

PUES: It is similar to well, then, ummm..., let's see...

You can use it when you are thinking what to say and would like a few seconds to make up your answer :-)

Let's say someone asks you if you want to baby-sit ... and you say
"Pues... (insert your thoughts here)... no se, tengo que ver..." mmm.. I don't know, I have to see..

- Quieres ir al cine conmigo?
-pues... si, esta bien, vamos.

-Como te parece ese chico?
-pues.... no se... me parece un poco tímido

-Como se dice: "I know"?
-Pues....(while you search your brain) no me acuerdo :-) .. Ah si! Yo se!
