Thanks! I have some other videos about contrast linkers, but I haven't done linkers for addition, purpose, or result yet. Here's the contrast linkers playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLuC54G6Zw3egvacLDH_diGREU54_pijkU.html 😊🌻
Thank you! In this case, I would use an addition linker rather than a contrast linker. This is because you are linking two positive points. You could say 'I love your content and videos. Furthermore, they really help me.' The contrast linkers like 'although' usually link a positive and a negative aspect - I love your content and videos, although they don't help me'. (this could be appropriate if you didn't learn anything, but still enjoyed the content) 😊🌻
@@NaqibUllah-ql6li It's not quite as simple as that. When I say 'positive', I mean that in that sentence, you have used TWO grammatically positive points. The important thing is not that they are positive, but that they are BOTH positive. 'Furthermore could be used to link two negative points too. The important thing is that you are adding information, not contrasting. 'Furthermore' means 'also and more importantly', so the second point should be more significant than the first. I'll add this to my list of videos to make 😊🌻
Hello, hope you are well. I wanted to know if omitting prepositions if they repeat two or more times. Like, She was mistreated by her in-laws and (by) her family. She was absent either due to illness or (due to) some other reason. I visited him in 1999 and (in) 2000.
Hi, No, it isn't because there is no clear subject for the first clause. It sounds like he was raining! You could say: 'Despite the rain, he went shopping.'
@@EnglishWithEm Yes! 'Despite raining' doesn't sound correct,but i didn't understand why it's incorrect. Now i get it.Thank you.But can i say 'Despite it was raining'?
@@EnglishWithEm Mam, i have 2-3 doubts please answer them,Please don't keep it for future videos. 1- Suppose A and B are driving at a distance,A goes first and B comes next,here I can say 'A is preceding B' and 'B is following A'. 2- Have you any money? Have you a car? These sentences are incorrect or old fashioned? 3- The car is ready to use. The car is ready to be used. Both are correct?
@@omprakashmohapatra1940 As previously stated, I am only responding to questions that relate to the video content. If I answer your unrelated questions then it is only fair that I answer everybody's, and that simply isn't possible. Thank you for understanding. Have a lovely weekend!
It's only me again! Hope you are well. You could've added *and yet * notwithstanding * & * albeit * any chance for a short video of 2 minutes or so for those missing words please.
Hello, the position of "only" throws me off a lot. Like, I have only three cars./ I only have three cars. It only takes three minutes/ It takes only three minutes. Thanks.
Hi! ‘only’ should be placed before the verb - ‘I only have three cars.’ ‘It only takes three minutes.’ It is normal to hear non-native speakers say ‘I have only three cars.’ This is usually a result of crossover from their native language and doesn’t affect understanding at all. The meaning is still perfectly clear.

@@EnglishWithEm I can only use "Furthermore" for linking two positive point s. I will be waiting for your response . please confirm me

Hi! Yes, it's perfectly correct to do this and it's actually more typical than repeating the preposition.
@@EnglishWithEm Thanks 😊
THANKS 😊
Can I use "despite+ verb+ing" and "in spite of +verb+ing". There is no difference here, right?
The meaning is the same, but I would use 'despite' in formal writing. 'In spite of' sounds more conversational 😊🌻
Hi mam!
Despite raining he went shopping.
Is it correct?
Hi,
No, it isn't because there is no clear subject for the first clause. It sounds like he was raining! You could say:
'Despite the rain, he went shopping.'
@@EnglishWithEm Yes! 'Despite raining' doesn't sound correct,but i didn't understand why it's incorrect. Now i get it.Thank you.But can i say
'Despite it was raining'?

2- Have you any money?
Have you a car? These sentences are incorrect or old fashioned?
3- The car is ready to use.
The car is ready to be used. Both are correct?
@@omprakashmohapatra1940 You're welcome. No, 'Despite it was raining' is incorrect. It is only followed by a noun or a gerund.

It's only me again! Hope you are well. You could've added *and yet * notwithstanding * & * albeit * any chance for a short video of 2 minutes or so for those missing words please.
You read my mind! I was thinking of doing a short video just to deal with 'yet'. I'll do one for 'notwithstanding' too
I wish I could thank you enough THOUGH !
