hello teacher welcome to tangerin  TV what will you teach us

today hello Sam thank you for inviting me  to this wonderful Channel I'm so happy to be

here I good luck to talk to you about a very  important topic it will help you improve your

English I'm talking about the linking  words linking words and phrases in

English oh that's a very interesting  topic but why is it important to speak

English connecting words and phrases in the  English language is one area you will need to

master as you're learning the language the  English language is difficult but don't

worry I will help you words and phrases  need to be connected for a variety of

reasons for example you may want to  make a comparison contrast show purpose  

or demonstrate condition most most of the  connective words that form the connection  

are used to join two Clauses together or start a  new sentence expanding on the previous statement  

what I mean is all sentences in a paragraph  need to relate to the main idea in the topic

sentence linking words and phrases with  sentences together to create a cohesive

paragraph oh you're right okay give  us some examples with linking words

please although is a subordinating conjunction  that means in spite of the fact that or even  

thought for example you might right she loved  to paint although she wasn't very good at it  

this sentence means the same thing as she  loved to paint in spite of the fact that  

she wasn't very good at it I will give you other  examples although she is old she can still run

far remember that usually your were talking  about two sentences so you have to use a coma  

to separate them but although he tried to make  his voice confident I could see the terror in his

eyes another common linking word is even if  it is used to say that if something is the  

case or not the result is the same for  example even if you take a taxi you'll  

still miss your train it's really funny  even if he's also rather arrogant you  

will make a good profit even if rents don't  go up in case in case is used when we talk  

about things don't right now to prepare for  something that might happen in the future

for

example you might want to take flates  in case you want to dance later

or I used to have the scanners  on at night just in case I missed

something another linking word is in spite of or  despite the spite is a little more formal than  

an spite off we usually use an spite off and  despite with a noun for example he got the job  

in spite of his prison record John's company  is doing extremely well despite the recession

or and in spite of despite the fact  she was busy she still made time to

volunteer so that so that is far more  common than inorder that and in order  

that is more formal for example I'll  go buy a car so that I can take more  

lugage or we left a message with his  neighbor so that he good know with

cold one more he took a large umbrella  so that if it rained he wouldn't get

wet whatever whatever can be  a pronoun a determiner or an

adverb you use whatever as a pronoun or determiner  to refer to anything or everything of a particular  

kind I read whatever I could find about  the court or you can rely on me whatever  

happens whereas we use the conjunction  words to indicate a contrast between two  

facts or ideas for example he loves foreign  holidays whereas his wife prefers to stay at

home whereas most new computers  have several USB slots older  

ones often only had one as a result or  consequently it simply means because of

something there has been a great deal of  rain and consequently the reservoirs are full

as a result of the accident  he suffered permanent brain

damage another one the company is growing  consequently there will be more jobs un

offered besides can be used as a  preposition meaning except or in addition to

for example besides her role as a mother  of three Mary runs a charity and works

part-time or besides being a fantastic  footballer he also good at Cricket tennis and

squash however or nevertheless she was  running late however she stopped for coffee

nevertheless it's an adverb that tells  the reader that something happened even

though there is something that might  have stopped it from happening M for

example the math test was  very difficult nevertheless  

she earned a good grade in the same way  likewise similarly they are very similar

Expressions you use in the same way to introduce  a situation that you are comparing with

one that you have just mentioned because  there is a strong similarity between them  

for example make the drink with  boiling water in the same way as

te he is our friend and likewise our leader  the food was excellent likewise the wine it  

was late and I similarly was delay similarly  business has to enter into agreements and there  

are a lot more I mean more examples  of linking words but we don't have

time don't worry you have helped us a lot  we can make another video with linking
