indeed

We use the word "indeed" to emphasize the affirmative. It’s similar to "for sure."

• Yes, indeed.
• I do, indeed, intend on going to the game.
• Jeffrey is a very happy man, indeed.
• This is extremely good news, indeed.

Sometimes the word "indeed" is used when questioning facts, addressing existence, or considering possibilities:

• How will we ever raise the money we need for our project? How indeed?
• I wonder if he does indeed understand the seriousness of this situation.
