Linking words in English are important!
Linking words (also known as connectors or connecting words) are extremely useful for English learners to add to their vocabulary because they help us to express our ideas more clearly and form longer, more advanced sentences.
However, in real spoken English, native speakers don't use most of the linking words that many teachers (and exercise books) teach in traditional English classes.
So, in this video I list the nine linking words that native English speakers really use in real English on a day to day basis.
More formal linking words are useful (and I'll make a video on those soon) but it's important to differenciate between which words are common in formal, written English and which are common in more colloquial, spoken English.

As a Spanish speaker, I admit that it has been very difficult for me to incorporate "though" in my daily conversation. I think it is because in Spanish there isn't structure to put the contrast at the end of the sentence, which is quite strange and unnatural for us. Living in London for years I have already been able to incorporate it though 😛

Yes teacher, I've have seen many linking words, there are a lot of them, it would take long time to study all of them, but now I know thanks to you teacher that you don't always use all of them.

@user-od2eo9bf5l 6 месяцев назад

I am really fond of watching your videos instead of following other RU-vid channels, collecting some notions that are more helpful in order to brush up my english skill.

@markdonovan1540 11 месяцев назад

This is a great video to simplify the learning of connectives. I'm a native speaker and I can confirm that these are very commonly used linking words. I must admit, one of them I tend to use a lot though...

Wow! There are a lot to watch (the old ones are terrible 😆)

@alfred1243 2 года назад

"Like" is more than a linker among younger crowd, particularly girls, as it seems. They, like, sprinkle, like, you know, like almost every other word with "like" :)

@tothepointenglishwithben. 2 года назад

Yes, it's a filler

@fleurblanche7642 6 месяцев назад

@Saha9800 2 года назад

This video is useful for spoken English, but I think those who taught other linking words had formal writing in mind. If possible, could you do a video on more formal counterparts particularly the ones that are less known such as in that, as such, inasmuch as, albeit, as, regardless of, and the like.
