let me confess that, the first time I watched your video because of your beauty but later I have been watching your videos on account of your great ability.
I would like to thank you again Arnel for your amazing and informative video. Alice has to look after her children; notwithstanding, she is always on the run.

And then, you've just posted it. How incredible is it? I am delighted that you are offering us this class. Thank you!
I’ve got 5/6, I started to watch you two days ago as I am preparing for my IELTS exam. My grammar is very bad, so I went through youtube to study grammar. Unfortunately I watched lot of teachers who do nothing just exacerbated my confusion, but luckily your channel appeared in-front of me. You have amazing teaching skills, and you simplifying the information very well so all English levels can understand you. Thank you very much ❤
In addition to being an excellent teacher, your patience and hard work coexist so well that your channel can continue succeeding. Alternatively, I, who stopped practicing English, am almost there to gain more confidence in my grammar for my English test. Thank you for these masterclasses and wish me luck!!!
Wow, hats off to you 👏 ❤ you're the best instructor that I've ever seen in my whole life ❤️ I'm so proud of dear teacher Arnels ❤️ love from Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Hi Arnel! Disclaimer: English is not my native language. For me, you are the best teacher in English grammar that I've ever known. Do you have a book with a complete grammar teaching that I can buy. Due to work, sometimes reading is a better option than watching a video. If you don't have a book yet, can you recommend a grammar book with contents that teaches like you do?
I can't believe that I have correct all.I got this kind of achievement as my teacher is Arnel.Really, really thanks. You are the best teacher that is unprecedented in mine❤❤❤❤❤
I didn’t know the meaning of Mediterranean. That's why the last one was quite tough for me. I was able to score 5. By the way, this topic became very easy for me after completing this lesson. Thanks Arnel.
thanks Arnel for this video. I got "only"5 despite knowing this grammar. I was wrong with the second one as I am not so familiar with conversely, but now I am. cheers :)
Arnel, I understood a lot from you so far. Please explain : What are you thinking? What are you thinking about? What are you thinking of? Who's /whom you're thinking?...Im really confused. I wish you do short video about this.
I am the new follower but watching and learning from the year 2019...in ur channel ❤i admire the way u teaching.... really hat's off dear....from tamilnadu....at small village
Hi Arnel, your teachings are excellent and very helpful, could you make video about allegedly, supposedly, reportedly. i got confused with these words.
Despite the tricky problem , she bring on the table great alot solutions On earth lives so many homeless people conversely,generous people give money for charity
Pura vida Arnel🌷. I loved your creativity. The cricket sound you played gave a cool effect to the video. I got 6/6 in the test. Notwithstanding was a new word for me. These are my examples: 1. Notwithstanding Blue Sky throws his fruit on the floor, I still giving him fresh fruit daily. 2. Most people have fun in noisy places; conversely, I enjoy quiet places surrounded by nature. 3. Arnel shares interesting topics in her TH-cam channel, alternatively, students can check out her website.
Great job as always Kattia! I think I need the cricket sound effect in my real life as well 😆 I love your examples! With "notwithstanding," it cannot be followed by a clause (subject + verb). There are a couple of options: -Notwithstanding Blue Sky's habit of throwing fruit on the floor....(Blue Sky's habit of throwing... = object, not a clause) -Notwithstanding the mess Blue Sky makes with his fruit... (the mess Blue Sky makes with his = object, not clause) If you want a clause, you can add "the fact that": Notwithstanding the fact that Blue sky throws his fruit on the floor... I hope this helps! :)
Thanks but I have a question regarding "Conversely". I usually use Contrariwise or On the contrary in such situations. So is there any difference among these words?
Thanks arnel Outstanding! I am a little confused. According to the information which I had about transitions before, they are conjunctival adverb, but despite is a preposition. Wr can use despite at the beginning but we can not use transitions to begin an idea. It is always used within the second sentence of a paragraph. If we use it at the beginning, it will be a linking or connecting word. Can you please clarify this . Thanks in advance.
That's such a great observation! You're right, "despite" (like "notwithstanding") is a preposition. By "transition" I meant being able to go from one thought to the next. Rarely does "despite" begin a sentence without any connection to something before it. But, technically it would not be considered a transition word :)
That's a great question Laura! No, "nevertheless" would not fit because the climate in the south isn't affected by the climate in the north and vice versa. They are simply two opposite types of climate and one action isn't contrasting another. I hope this helps! :)
Thanks 🙏 Don't get me wrong, l got all these functions however, these example that you go through that getting over my head so, i take it slow and watch again 😅😅
Notwithstanding that you look grate on teaching,you still don't know the very basic English. As above ,I used notwithstanding as a conjunction like although, even though,or thought. "I didn't like it. Notwithstanding, I remained calm" As above,I use notwithstanding as an adverb. I am not on the same page as you mentioned that notwithstanding as a preposition can come after a noun or a noun phrase since the fixed rule of a preposition must be followed by either nouns or pronouns,in other words,when you used LA as a real -life,they put it after a noun phrase, which acts as an adverb not mentioned by you that notwithstanding can come after a noun or a noun phrase. However,if you think I am mistaken on my explanation, you can educate me accordingly.❤
In the following 2 sentences 1)'what had you done that you are talking like that' and 2)' what had you done that you were talking like that' which one is similar to 'what had you done to be talking like that'

Hi, could you dedicate a short video to explain if "shall" is ever used in everyday English? As far as I know it's only used humorously
Amazing video ❤ Couldn't "nevertheless" be used on the second one as a way to show contrast, as well?
That's a great question Laura! No, "nevertheless" would not fit because the climate in the south isn't affected by the climate in the north and vice versa. They are simply two opposite types of climate and one action isn't contrasting another. I hope this helps! :)
