A little about me:
My name is Minoo. I’m originally from Iran, and I live and work in the U.K.
I’m a qualified English teacher and teacher trainer, but that’s not what makes me good at my job.
I just love teaching! It makes me feel good when I can share something I’ve learned with others. That’s why I still love teaching English after 40 years of doing it!
English is such a vast and complicated language! My passion is to make it as easy as possible for others to learn. My students always praise my ‘clear explanations’ and 'structured method'.
I suppose I can explain things well because I’m not a native speaker. I’ve struggled with English pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary myself. I’ve had to work out the rules and learn the exceptions, and I just love sharing my own discoveries with others like me who are learning English as a foreign language.
Thank you so much, everyone, for all the ‘likes’ and your lovely and supportive comments! I'm so grateful for your support!

I have seen many teachers on youtube but not such a teacher have I seen. I admired your lesson on cause and effect relationship and I do admire this lesson on contrast and concession. Being a teacher, myself, I like the way you link subordinating conjunctions, coordinating conjunctions, prepositions and conjunctive adverbs with their different functions. In short, I like you thrice; as a successful teacher, as a modest woman and as a sister in humanity.

Hi Minou, The lesson is really helpful and useful. I`m now feel confident of how to structure my sentences of " concession & contrast " properly. You`re indeed an experienced and top English teacher. Hats off to you. Would you kindly add to your lists the use of the two phrases " That being said & Having said that " for your next video lessons. Thanking you once again. All the best, Fazil

Hello Fazil, I'm glad you've enjoyed this lesson. The two expressions you have mentioned work in the same way as 'however' for concession. They prepare the listener for a contradiction to what the speaker has just said.

@AngloLinkEnglish 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I have checked several references, but I cannot find a consistent rule regarding the punctuation for 'while' and 'whereas'. Personally, I would treat it like 'although': If the sentence starts with one of these two, separate with a comma. If they're in the middle, don't.

Thanks a lot for your lesson, Ms Minoo. By the way, could you explain a bit the usage of "On the contrary", "On the other hand"? Do they indicate a contrast or a concession? I am wondering whether or not it can be used interechangeably with the ones brought up in this video.

@AngloLinkEnglish 7 жыл бұрын

You're very welcome. 'on the contrary' introduces neither a concession nor a contrast. It negates the previous statement. 'on the other hand' can be used to express a contrast in the same way as 'while' and 'whereas' do.

Hi Minoo, For one more time, I was reviewing this useful lesson, and I found something and want to understand from you, please. When we use subordinating conjunctions we either start with the subordinating conjunction before the dependent clause and (,) then the independent clause or we start with the independent clause then the subordinating conjunction and the dependent clause. For example, He could not go to work because his leg was broken/ Because his leg was broken, he could not go to work. right? Here I found at 5:33 it was mentioned like this: B is rather expensive, while/whereas A is reasonably priced (As far I understand, here I expected NOT to use the comma. so may you kindly elaborate on this?) Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Ahmad,

@AngloLinkEnglish 7 жыл бұрын

Hello Ahmad, Well spotted. Following the punctuation rule, that comma shouldn't be there. My apologies. That said, you will probably come across some sources that will put a comma before 'while' and 'whereas' in the middle of a sentence. I think this is because these two sometimes feel more like coordinating conjunctions, but they've been classed as 'subordinating' by grammarians.

@Abu-Aley 7 жыл бұрын

Many thanks Minoo for clarification. You really can not imagine how much you enriched my English. By the way, are you familiar with IELTS, especially writing rules, if yes, may you kindly give some lessons about such important topic for English learners? Thanks in advance, and I look forward to watching new useful lessons from you, Sincerely, Ahmad,

so professionally !thank you minoo, in spite of the fact that written English is so hard to understand mostly in an academic manner for its learners,but anglo- link- team seems that is breaking down the fact.you all are the biggest source of mine when it comes to standard English Grammer.lucky to have you...but.. still I'm struggling with my low volume of memorized words,have not you got tips on this except reading and memorizing the whole sentence which is consist of the mean word that you want to memorize it.and this has become such a nightmare for me while speaking, even though I have not experienced it yet in front of a bunch of ppl.

@AngloLinkEnglish 7 жыл бұрын

I'm glad you've enjoyed this lesson, Nasher. If you want to use your vocabulary actively (while speaking), you must do two things: 1.Learn it in context, ideally your own context. However, it doesn't have to be a whole sentence. A short phrase will do as well. 2. Repeat the phrase out loud, ideally after a model, so you don't make pronunciation mistakes. So, as you read, write out the words that you want to learn, put them in a phrase or sentence that is meaningful and memorable for you, check and practise the pronunciation of the new word using an online dictionary, and finally repeat the phrases to yourself out loud. I hope this helps a little.

@nasherkohistani7618 7 жыл бұрын

thanks minoo, they will do, because I believe in your magic tips.as they have been doing a lot to me since I've got familiar with you, though I hadn't tried them before, but I'll try them. I appreciate your taking care of your fans and students from deep of my heart. God bless you!

@AngloLinkEnglish 7 жыл бұрын

You're welcome, Nasher. One other thing: No matter how large your repertoire of active vocabulary becomes, the most important thing is to not to tense up or worry about mistakes before you speak. Stay confident, and relax about possible mistakes or hesitations. Everyone experiences blank moments, even native speakers. Let me know how you get on.

@nasherkohistani7618 7 жыл бұрын

great to hear again from you, the fact is that I HAVE not experienced it yet (talking to someone for a long time).I don't think that not being fully correct grammatically will be my problem ,though as I sais I HAVEN'T TRIED IT ALOT.but the problem I WORRY a lot about is not fully understanding the opposite side of the conversation .for example talking to a native speaker who uses a lot of idioms, phrases and slangs .and their style of talking has been kinky with it.

@AngloLinkEnglish 7 жыл бұрын

Once again, there's no point in worrying about it. If that happens, just tell the speaker that you're not familiar with their accent and ask them to slow down. In the meantime, you may want to watch my lesson called 'Learn English Listening Skills' to become familiar with some patterns that native speakers use. Also, it's important to understand all the common phrasal verbs. You have probably watched my 10 lessons on phrasal verbs. Keep reviewing them. And of course, watching movies is very helpful in getting used to the way native speakers speak. I know it takes a lot to master a foreign language, and the best way to approach it is to make it fun and interesting. Let the worrying go.

@tabishkhan9843 6 жыл бұрын

wow that is really great as you are great. some people made comments about comma in subordinating conjuction..part. well you explained very well the comma rule.and you dont even read comma word while reading that sentence B is rather expensive (,) while A is reasonably priced. and you read this comma word while reading this sentence While A is reasonably priced,B is rather expensive. and even you do not put comma in the exercise portion when you used WHILE in the middle of sentence. so it means it is typing mistake so it is not a big deal. i mentioned it here because i really shocked by these types of comments.

nice explanation madam. could u please explain can we use a comma before although if there is two directly contrasting information? eg. He is short, although his brother is tall. I saw this type of usage of comma with subordinating conjunctions. that's why.. please reply me

@AngloLinkEnglish 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Thomas. Yes, you will come across 'although' used after a comma to show a contrast, performing the same function as 'whereas' or 'while'. However, the most common use of 'although' is to express a concession.

hello MIno, tks again for all ur amazing lectures, regarding while/wheres (subcordinating conj), we always put coma in the sentences? regardless the subcordinate clause comes after the main clause? as per ur example.

@AngloLinkEnglish 7 жыл бұрын

That's a tricky one as different sources differ as to whether there should be a comma or not. To keep things simple, I would follow the same rule: If you start with these words, use a comma. If they come in the middle, don't. I know that in one of the examples, I have put a comma before them when they were in the middle. Ignore that.

Hi Minoo, the above part was really good and helped me a lot. And a question for you is that, and which is completely irrelevant to above. And that is the relative pronoun 'that' which giving a lot of confusion. Kindly check the below examples,and help me to understand better. 1. he that is content is rich. 2. they that touch pitch will be defiled.

Hello Siva, I'm glad this lesson has been helpful to you. In these sentences, the nouns 'a man' and 'people' have been replaced by their respective pronouns: A man that (He that) is .... People that (They that) touch ... This is only common in literature and poetry though.
