Linking words in English help to smoothly connect one sentence to the next, creating seamless transitions.
Without transition words, our sentences can sound disconnected or difficult to follow.

Good, but make it more academic, since students in Africa,particularly here in Ethiopia,are extrinsically motivated-studying the English language to pass their exams.Your pronunciation is captivating,with slow, natural speed of speech.Thanks, and go ahead

I really apprieciate the effort you spend in the making of this video. However, It would be a good idea for you to pause the screen a little bit after you introduce some phrases/ words, so that we can take notes of them. The pause doesnt have to be long though, only 10 seconds or less. I find it a little bit unconvenient to constantly press the Pause button on KZread to take notes of new words/ phrases you give in the video. All in all, thank you so much for providing us with free but high-quality content here on KZread.

Liked & subscribed! Question: How about "sometimes" and "other times?" Do you say, "Sometimes, I go to bed early; other times, late?" Or, "Sometimes, I go to bed early; sometimes, late." Do you use "sometimes..., other times..." or "sometimes..., sometimes...?" Which one is correct? Thank you.
@Speakconfidentenglish
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question. Both of your examples could be used. There is little to no difference between using 'other times' vs. 'sometimes' in the second part of your example sentence. However, saying "Sometimes I go to be early" implies that it isn't always true. There's an understanding that at other times you may go to bed late so you could also leave out the second part of the sentence.

Maam could you send all the linking words in pdf format?
Hi, I'm Roshsn Kumar from India
I'd like to know when to stress the words in a sentence. I always hear you , in fact many native speakers do, stress the preposition "to". However, many English teachers are telling the English learners not to stress any prepositions in a sentence because they are not content words. Please help.
@Speakconfidentenglish
Жыл бұрын
Hi, thank you for the request. I'll certainly consider a lesson on this in the future; however, I will say that most of the time the word 'to' is reduced. There may be times when it is spoken clearly (this doesn't mean it is stressed, only that it isn't reduced) or may even be stressed for a specific reason (such as clarification). Do you have a specific example you can share with me? It would be helpful if I could listen to an example you're thinking about.

Use linking ..
They are linking words but if you can express yourself with fewer words conveying the same sense you should strive to speak clearly and briefly. Use linking words only when really necessary. There is no need to add words just so so you appear smarter.
Can i to learn english following your lessons. I haven't want to follow Oprah Winfrey.
Referring to my latest comment below, I should have written...... the infinitive "to" instead of the preposition. Sorry about that.
Screen is not clear what you write on the board
I have difficulty with English writing, and this limits me from applying to positions I know I can do well. However, my English writing is not advanced. I struggle with this because English is my second language. I hate it. I feel useless.

Text to speech sure makes people sound messed up,when the words dont even match what they said

The contrast between the texts and the background is poor. The letters should have been in black.
