A little about me:
My name's Minoo, and I'm originally from Iran.
I obtained my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Diploma in England in 1985.
Since then, I've been an English teacher, teacher trainer, and course director in various schools and countries. I'm also a trained confidence coach.
In 2008, my son, Tom, and I set up the Anglo-Link platform for online English studies.
This led to the creation of our popular TH-cam channel in 2011.
My passion is to share with you what I've learnt on my own English language journey, both as a student and as a teacher, so that you can become a fluent speaker of English too.
Find all the support you need to reach your goal of speaking English with confidence and ease by joining the Anglo-Link Community at app.anglo-link....
Reach C1 fluency by joining my complete course at app.anglo-link.com/. This teacher-guided online course includes weekly LIVE Lessons and Workshops with me + a Members' WhatsApp Conversation Club to boost your speaking skills. Memberships start from US$6.50 per month.
There are many other tutorials here in YT, but the difference is yours is unabridged, second is something which not many TH-camrs pay attention to, and that is incorporating tests or quizzes that you've done very nicely.
Thank you
You're very welcome!
little did you know that someone from Casablanca, not only would they be watching this impeccable lesson about inversion but also will be subscribing to your spiffing channel and giving it a thumb up. Much obliged for the time and lesson. bless you.
Thank you! What a great combination of two inversions in one sentence!
@@AngloLinkEnglish You wouldn't mind telling us what part of UK you are from, would you?
I live in the South East not far from London, but I'm not British. I'm originally from Iran.
@@AngloLinkEnglish You sound British thou. I watch loveenglish with Leila and sabrah . Leila is half English half Iranian too. nice meeting ya. thanks for your rapid response. good night and bless you
Your lessons give me an impression that you are a very conscientious teacher. You deal with every subject thoroughly and concisely . Thank you so much.
Thank you for your very kind comment. I do my best to be thorough.
Thanks for your great explanation.
No sooner had the taxi stopped than he jumped into it. The original sentence: As soon as the taxi stopped, he jumped into it.
Why did we use past perfect with inversion?
You're welcome.
That's how we use 'no sooner': always with Past perfect.
Not only did I learn inversion but also subscribed .Correct?😄
Yes, it is. Well done, Jeremy!
Thank you!!!!!!!! My mother tongue is Spanish and I'm learning english at the moment. I love english language and the way you teach!!!
You're most welcome, Patricia!

You are amazing teacher .... As far I've never seen such a teacher before .

Thank you very much!
I have little bit confusing regarding a sentence that " Pooja saw him dangling her son from the balcony"
In this , I have two confusions
1. Whether Pooja saw from balcony or her son was dangling from balcony?
2.' Pooja saw him 'mean whom saw Pooja either her son or any other individual?
I'm looking forward your reply
Pooja saw another person dangling Pooja's son from the balcony. >> Her son was on the balcony, not Pooja.
@@AngloLinkEnglish You are great.…😊❣️ Actually I have lots of confusion so that would you like to provide me your email ID?
I hope you would help me in other problems.
Thanks a lot
Your video on this complicated topic is up to the mark and worth appreciating.
Thank you, Muhammad!
Not only is English important in communication but it is also very strategic in research and employment search.
Indeed! It's the language that now connects us all together, so it's worth trying to speak it well and clearly to make our connections stronger and more meaningful.
Hello Professor
Thank you so much for your help and advice,
i really appreciate your job. I wish you peace and happness under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time.
Your Student from Algeria.
Thank you very much for your good wishes, Said!
Thanks .
I have a question .
Here the boss has arrived on time . Or
Here has the boss arrived on time. Which one is correct ?
There's no need for an inversion.
@@AngloLinkEnglish According to the rule we have to invert .
We have started with a place adverbial. Here is a place adverbial.
Here comes the sun .
I would be grateful if you answered my question .
Here the boss has arrived.
Why didn't we do like the previous sentence here comes the sun ? Thanks in advance
U r such a fantastic n charismatic teacher hardly have I any language to praise u. Wish u good luck n a meaningful life forever.
Thank you for your lovely comment! Much appreciated!
Rarely does anyonego through such an intriguing video.💓
Great sentence!

You are welcome!
Excellent! Thanks!
Thank you very much for your excellent explanation about INVERSION.
You are welcome!
Your explanations and exercises are good. Thank you.
I'm glad you like them!
Man, are you brilliant person! Not only are you brilliant, but you are broad-minded as well. More important than reading news is conversing with you. You are really outgoing and talented personality, as is my cousin. Had I not got acquainted with you, my speaking skills would have been modified more sluggish. No sooner had you written me than my interest to speak was piqued. At home lives my nephew. Seldom does she hinder me to study. Only when she sleeps do I have possibilities to work on myself. At no time have I been overseas, but it is not a reason not to get high score. Under no circumstances should we stop preparing for IELTS. May all your dreams come true, me too. Here is my desire to you, be happy.
Very good examples of the use of inversions.
Better explanation Than others 🙏

Just wonderful. I like the way you explain things...you make things easy to understand. Have no word to admire your teaching style.
I am from india and I often watch utube video on english learning to improve my english. My love for this language make me google the new ideas so that i could be more familiar with this language. But the more I watched the video the more i confused.
I found it difficult to understand when it comes to word inversion and many other things in advance english grammar, but after watching your videos on that topics things got changed. Now i can use that in my day to day speaking. Thanks a lot Mam...you are simply awesome. Salute you...:)
Please correct me if i made any grammatical mistakes writing this short note.
I would highly appreciate if you could upload more videos on different topics. Thanks once again. Stay blessed !
Thank you! I'm glad my lessons have been helpful to you.
You have written very well. There are a couple of small errors (possibly typos): My love ... make >> makes me.
If you were writing in a formal situation, you would have to make sure you use capitalisation: India, English, Google.

Thank you, Ahmed! I'm glad you liked the lesson.
13:02 Question! I see the inversion sentence included 'had' between No sooner and The taxi stopped.
But the original form was
"As soon as the taxi stopped"
So the inversion sentece had become past pefect?
Yes, the inverted version is with Past Perfect.
Great madam G I m from 🇮🇳 India
Thank you!

Thank you!
Hello teacher. Thanks for your great lesson. Could I ask you which of the following sentence is correct? I’d highly appreciate your help.
1. Behind the house was the car I drove.
1. Behind the house is the car I drove.
The best👑❤
Thanks a lot, Mohammad!
Thaaaaanks a lot!!!♥️🤲
My pleasure!
Thank you so much Mam...jus luv ur accent
Thank you very much!
Well done!
Thank you!
Dear Teacher, It's fantastic!
Would you mind guiding me through sentence 7 of the exercise. My humble knowledge says that if we are to use inversion in the expression 'Not only ... but also', there should be parallelism, i.e., there should be two clauses:
Not only is she intelligent, but she is also diligent.
Isn't it incorrect to say: Not only is she intelligent but also diligent.
Looking forward to receiving your kind reply!
Dear Teacher, Thanks in anticipation.
Hello Rizwan,
Both forms are correct. When the verb/tense is the same (is), it's better perfectly acceptable not to use another clause.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks a tonne, Dear Teacher!
Grateful for your concern and immediate reply as well!
thank you very very much
My pleasure, Ahmed!
I really enjoyed doing the exercise! Thank you!
My pleasure!
I was a lot of confusion but now,I could study each vedio. Thank u so much teacher. You are great teacher.

I love this video
Thank you!
A littel bit confusing, but with repetition I will get the hang of this very important grammar structure.
Welcome back, you are the best..
I can understand anything with you
If you don't mind could you recommend the best ielts prep book or package to use,,, thanks
Thank you very much!
I personally use the Cambridge University Press Past Papers, as they tend to be the most up-to-date.
Nice lesson! Thank u so much,mam.
You're very welcome.
Hardly had I started to watch Anglo-link when I realized that Meeno was the Queen of ET TH-camrs.
Thank you, Tesber!
Not only does your sentence flatter me no end but it also provides a great example of a case of inversion.
Tesbér Gábor j
wow, not until I read a pitiful comment like this have I realized some trolls' existing is equivalent to a waste of oxygen.
Thank you Minoo! But suddenly appears a question.(accidentally I have used inversion). Can we use Past Perfect verbs in a separate phrase where there is no other past action? Your example with "Seldom had Fred met such an intriguing person" shows that this is OK! Am I right?
And why didn`t you wright "Seldom did Fred meet such an intriguing person"?
You're welcome, Eugene.
You may see the Past Perfect stand alone if the other action or time frame has already been mentioned and is still valid. This example would come from a story where Fred has just met a person and this has been mentioned in a previous sentence.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Just useful. Thanks.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much ❤
You're very welcome.
What a great video! Thanks for helping me in gaining new insights. I just wondering if the creator could give me enlightenment about the note which stated 'Inversions after prep. and adverbs of place do not happen with pronouns e.g. There he goes'. However, on exercise No. 13. Why did the structure of inversion not similar to the note; Given: There it goes ----> Inversion: There goes (why was it not: There it goes (no change). Did I miss a key to understanding the structure?
Actually, the question is: "There it goes; your lovely cat". She didn't use inversion for "there it goes", she used inversion for the part "your lovely cat". The sentence in the exercise is just trying to confuse you. So if you want it to be clear, we can write it again "Your lovely cat goes there", and we have the inversion "There goes your lovely cat". I hope you get the point.
