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 a lot of purposes.One of them is learning English perfectly,especially with you,Minoo.
An excellent objective, Nahid! I'm glad I'm being of assistance to you in achieving this goal.
It's an honour to be taught by you.I noticed your British accent.That's amazing and I'm Azerbaijani.
Thank you, Nahid! I live in the UK and teach British English. However, I'm originally from Iran.
Minoo,I wrote twice to you that\ ''How many guests did come'' or ''How many guests came'' Which one is correct or formal?\.But you didn't answer.Please,answer.Even my English teachers who live in Azerbaijan don't know what to say about that.
Anglo-Link Oh really? that's cool you're from Iran. Your English is perfect as a second Language!

thanks mam for your wonderful way of teaching that makes us easier in order to figure out English. could you please make a lesson in order to take us through what to use whether gerund or infinitive after some words like before, after, in, for.
You're most welcome, Marghub.
I've already published a lesson on this point. You can find it here:
www.anglo-link.com/index.php?/online_lessons/video_lessons??topic=gerund_infinitive
Anglo-Link I saw him before he goes to market.
I saw him before he went to market.
I saw him before his going to market.
which one is correct & why? could you explain it??
1. wrong: saw (past) / goes (present)
2. correct
3. possible grammatically but not something a native speaker would say.
superb
seguo da tempo le lezioni di minoo ma quelle sulla pronuncia non ero riuscito a trovarle ; ora SI Grazie le seguirò fino ad apprenderle bene.
Hello Piero,
I'm glad you have enjoyed my lessons. I have just updated with my website, and there are some new pronunciation lessons you may enjoy. You can join the website at www.anglo-link.com.
Hi Anglo, would like to ask could purpose clause be sometimes replace with reason clause ? For e.g. I work hard in my studies in order to do well in my examinations.
However can I replace" in order to" with "because I wish to "? I realized sometimes it is interchangeable and sometimes it may not be interchangeable. ( Purpose can be a reason in some cases?) great video!
Thank you!
Yes, you can, but you have to make sure the context allows it.
@@AngloLinkEnglish thank you ❤️
