Are you often wondering about the
correct linking word to express a contrast?
Are you uncertain how to use
words such as 'although', 'however' or 'despite'?
Then join me in this lesson for
a review of the most common linking
words we use to express a contrast.
Hello and welcome everyone this is Minoo at Anglo-Link.
Today we're going to
review words and expressions that join
two contrasting facts.
These are words and phrases like
'although', 'even though', 'however',
'nevertheless', 'despite' and 'in spite of'.
We will look at how they join two clauses
to each other and also which ones are
more appropriate for spoken english and
which ones are more appropriate for written English.
We'll finish with a gap-filling exercise
so you can test your assimilation.
By the end of the lesson
you will have mastered the use of these
linking words both in spoken and written English.
So, when you're ready, let's begin!
