Interpersonal communication is the exchange of information between the participants in a communication act. It consists of oral speech, i.e., words, as well as non-verbal communication, i.e., body position, gestures, facial expressions, eye movements, physical distance, sounds, eye contact and touch. Communication quality is determined not only by the use of code that is understandable to both the sender and the recipient of the message. Sometimes there are communication barriers that make it difficult to communicate with each other. In everyday contact, a lot of information is conveyed through words. The relevance of the study is that verbal communication in English is part of interpersonal communication, where you need to take care of speech correctness and accuracy of the message. The aim of the study is to consider the verbal aspects of interpersonal communication in English. Conversation is the most natural way to communicate between people. It is two-way and interactive, which means that dialogue participants change roles, sometimes speaking and sometimes listening. His theory is primarily linguistic in nature, but it can also be very well applied in the description of everyday conversations built around interlocutors, one of whom is the sender and the other the recipient. These roles, of course, are not permanent and change. In order for them to start a dialogue, they must be in contact with each other. In other words, a contact is a channel through which information can be exchanged. For interlocutors to understand each other, they must use the same code. It's just a free use of a certain language, namely English. Thanks to the code, you can create messages, i.e., statements, and the meeting of interlocutors always takes place under the established circumstances of place and time. They are called the context or environment of expression. The practical significance lies in the further effective use of verbal aspects of interpersonal communication in English
