How to use them naturally

Combine words to sound more natural: for example, use an affirmative word plus a positive adjective "S, perfecto!" or "Por supuesto, me parece genial." In polite settings, choose formal phrasing like "por supuesto" or "claro que s." In casual conversation with friends, phrases like "vale", "claro" or interjections like "genial!" fit very well.
