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!

Dear Ms Minou,
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your video lesson about Adverbial Clauses of condition. After studying English for years, it is now that I have a clear explanation about such kinds of linking words. As such, hats off to you. As an English teacher, you are the right person in the right place.
I would be much obliged if you would make a video lesson about the Adverbial Clauses of manner which sometime uses in hypothetical situation introducing by the words " as though, as if ".
All the best.
Warm regards,
Fazil
Thank you very much for your continued support, Fazil.
I've made a note of your request. I think the best place to address these two conjunctions is in a lesson on the 'Subjunctive', which is on my to-do list.
Thanks, it is great that you are making those videos abuut linking words. I think we can take a shortcut and say "No matter what" instead of even if. :)
You're welcome.
Yes, if you don't want to underline a specific condition that doesn't need to be fulfilled, you can certainly use the expression 'no matter what'.
I won't be able to understand these words, if/in case that I don't watch this video / unless I watch this video.
Thank you mam for such a great explanation.☺️☺️☺️☺️🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
God bless you
As long as you make so useful videos, I will see them :D
Thank you, Marco. I will make some more.

SUMMARY:-
Good examples: as long as, so long as providing that, postpone that
Third Conditional sentence: Even if
Use Unless for the positive verb.
In case that. ;)
Thank you very much for the information.
Merci beaucoup.
You're welcome!
If I achieve this lesson, my English will improve, it is difficult but worth it!
Thank you for your help.
You're very welcome.
thank you
You're welcome.
Welcome back!!!
Thank you!
Ma'am, you exemplified it really very well. I will be grateful to you, if you can explain us, how to write attractive and effective formal letters, articles,etc.
Thank you!
Many of you have asked me to do 'writing skills' lessons, and I may do this in the future. However, I believe there are already many good lessons and resources available for this.
"Many good lessons and resources" that's true, but not yours, not your style.
Hi, Minoo. Thank you for all teaching lessons. They are very useful. You are one of the best teachers that I've ever seen.
==================
i love you so much
Thank you very much for your very kind compliment! I'm glad you've enjoyed my lessons.
Yr welcome My heart
I am really pleased
Excellent, Ismael!
Iam watching you from Algeria . Great work
Many thanks!
Mam, your teaching is very helpful and rewarding. Thanks for your precious time for us.
I think conditionals play very important role in conditional linking words.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you've enjoyed this lesson.
I really admire the you teach. You're a great teacher and I really appreciate that.... could you explain how we use the pharse " If that is the case".
Thank you, Danny.
Use it when there is too much information in the 'if' clause making it too long.
There seems to be a ... and it has apparently ..., which means ....... IF THAT IS THE CASE, (referring back to all that was said in the previous sentence), we will have to ......
Oh My Godness !!!
You are the best teacher who I have ever seen !
I am from turkey but you even better than my teacher !!
#I_Like_Your_Videoes
Thank you very much, Osama!
Good video, It really solved my doubts, and what about but for? can we say that "but for" is synonym of "if it weren´t/wasn´t". ?? Thank you teacher¡¡¡
I'm glad you enjoyed this lesson.
Yes, that's a formal way of saying 'if it weren't for ...'
perfect
Thank you!
SAM SAMS plz tell me linking words love,hate,like,prefer

Hi Meenu,
I am looking for more videos on learning British acsent. Is it possible for you to share link of that videos?
Hello Irshad,
Try 'English with Lucy'. I believe she teaches British English pronunciation.
Thank you mam.it is very helpful for me 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏 from Kathmandu
You're most welcome. I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
welcome back ☺ again 💘
Thank you very much, Diab!
great
OK Teacher that's right.when you're busy you've to rest a while.we're happy to see you coming back.
Thank you, Ibrahim!
Thank you very much for your videos . At 2:12 the subordinate clause seems to be " more people will buy it ".
You're very welcome.
I'm not sure what your question is. Please type out the complete sentence.
"if we reduce the price" : here we offer (cause) something ( I see it as a main clause )
"more people will buy it" (purchase seems to be dependent on that price), so I would say this is the subordinate clause.
The clause containing the conjunction (if, when, although, etc.) is always the subordinate clause because on its own, it's incomplete.
thank you for your excellent video. @9:58 did you say, she would have got the same service even if she had paid more/even if she would paid more. I am confused by the contraction of 'd? does it stand for had or would?
You're welcome, Faisal.
It's 'had'. You can figure this out by looking at the next word: would + infinitive (pay) / had + past participle (paid).
Although there are many popular youtube channel for learning English, I found your lecture more comprehensive and straightforward. Most of my confusions about English grammar have been clarified due to your lecture being substantial.
Thank you! I'm really glad that my lessons have been helpful to you.
@Anglo-link Hello how are you? hope doing well. ... There are thousands of videos uploaded on youtube and on other channels but your way of teaching and explaining things are really excellent. You know when i have any query pertaining to English i just watch your videos. I am here to appreciate your efforts and just a request that please also upload videos to teach how to develop writing skills .... Stay blessed and regards
Thank you very much for your positive feedback, Hadi.
I hope that I will eventually get round to covering writing skills, but currently, I still have some more 'grammar in use' areas to cover.
hiim ok dear... will desperately wait
It seemed a little complicated at first, but after some excercises, I soon got the hang of it.
Excellent! I'm glad this has been helpful, Steve.
Hello my lovely teacher. I hope you're doing great. I have seen a sentence that says: "I'll go to NY unless I don't have a visa."
You said that 'unless' is always followed by a positive verb, so
Is this correct?
Thanks a lot.
Hello Hesam,
I don't often see 'unless' followed by a negative verb, but this sentence sounds fine.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks a lot. I love your teaching!
Good morning ,
In question 4, could you please explain why exempt is correct instead of exempted (passive voice)?
'exempt' is an adjective too; therefore there is no need to create a participle adjective from the verb 'to exempt'.
Thank you very much!
honor to me i have pretty international teacher like you
Allah keeps you , go head
Thank you very much!
Shall i use passive voice with these conjunction ? Because i have noted that you are using passive after some of these conjunction is it a rule????
No, it isn't. You can use the active voice as well.
Anglo-Link i can't thank you enough but thank you
dear madame, please can you talk about letter of motivation ?
Hello Ayoub,
I have made a note of your request for when I start working on writing skills, but that will take some time. In the meantime, many of my colleagues cover this point. I hope you will find the right resource for you.
Only if we reduce its price, will more people buy it.
In upper sentence, I think we need not a comma between two clause.
Because inversioned clause and aux.v. are connected closely in meaning...
What do you think about my opinion???
As this is a Conditional 1 sentence, I believe we must maintain the rule of separating the two clauses because we've started with the 'if' clause.
Hello can you tell me the absolute pronunciation Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.
I will be helped by you if you reply me as earlier as possible.👏

They will be "exempt" from taxation or is that, they will be "exempted" from taxation? Which one is correct ma'am?
'exempt' is an adjective, and it's the better option to use here.
