“Suffice it to say”

The use of “suffice it to say” in a sentence

The phrase “suffice it to say” can spice up your writing if used correctly. But hold; using this phrase is not as hard as you’re thinking.

First things first; the phrase simply means, “let’s just say” or “I shall just say.” In short, it can perfectly fit anywhere “I shall just say” works. For example,

Example 1
I shall just say that we will be returning soon.
I suffice it to say that we will be returning soon.

Example 2
Much has already been concluded, but let’s just say that if anything happens we will still be united.
Much has already been concluded, but suffice it to say that if anything happens we will still be united.

Usage
This phrase is well suited at the beginning of a declarative statement and clause.
But note: the phrase doesn’t have to be encapsulated in commas. Similarly, following the phrase with the word “that” may sound necessary, but it’s not. In fact, it’s way better if you don’t use it. For instance,

Much has already been concluded, but suffice it to say if anything happens we will still be united (this sentence is grammatically correct minus the word “that”).
