In general, we thank people for giving us a gift, doing us a favor, offering to help us and so on. Although we thank people for many things, (Q13)excessive expressions of thanks are not necessary.

(Q14)I really appreciate your time." However, that’s enough. If you keep on mentioning his kindness, (Q15) he might feel uncomfortable and annoyed, and possibly will not be eager to help you again.
