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 UA-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.
Join the Anglo-Link Community at app.anglo-link.com.
Here you will find all the support you need to reach your goal of speaking English with confidence and ease!

Hello teachers, your videos are so fascinating. Thanks a lot for your hard work. Anyway, on The Oxford Learner's Dictionary, there is also a formula ' recommend sb to do sth'. Could you explain it more, please? Thank you
It's so clear and not boring. Thanks !
No words are enough to appreciate you. I am at the loss of words to praise you.
You're very kind, Veena!
Your class is so organized that I understood everything. Thank you, good lesson
You're very welcome!
Excellent examples with your mesmerising teaching. You have such a sweet and melodious voice. Thank you madam.
It's my pleasure!

I am Algerian and I can speak Arabic and French
However I want to learn English with you my teacher
Hi teacher , how are you ?
Very happy to see your lesson teacher .
Your lessons and examples are so accurate and they are so useful to correct mistakes and learn more and more.
I corrected myself
a)I recommend you to listen to podcast.
b) I recommend you listen to podcast
c) I recommend that you listen to podcast
1 doubt,
Shall we replace "that" phrase with comma in c) sentence ?
Thank you
Hello Shekhar! I'm glad you've found the lesson helpful.
Although some people may find sentence a) acceptable, I'd recommend you use b) and c). You don't need a comma in c); keep 'that'.
I'd recommend and suggest you watch Minoo' s lessons if you want to improve your english.(is it correct?)😉😉😉😉
It's a perfect sentence! Thank you, Michele!
Please make some detailed videos on transition words like moreover, furthermore, also, in addition to etc. This will really be very helpful.
Thank you! I've made a note of your request.
Hello Minoo,
Thank you soooooo much for another great lesson.
Could you please have a lesson about take and bring?
I’ve been living in New Zealand for more than 8 years now and sometimes I’ve made mistakes about these two words.
Thank you.
My pleasure!
Thanks for your suggestions! I've added it to my list.
Useful video Thanks Madam
My pleasure!
Hi Minoo! Thanks for the lesson! It was very useful. I wonder if it's possible to get/buy the presentation that you're showing in the video.
Thank you, Tatiana!
I'm afraid not at the moment. I prepare the slides directly on a software, and as it stands, I can't see a way of making them into a downloadable file.
Thanks for the video.
And what about past tense I recommended and I suggested
They're followed by the same structure: Present Subjunctive: I suggested he (should) do it.
Hi madam,
Could you please make a video about that ?
Could you please tell me what is the difference between ?
What is the nuance? What is the situation?
Early and earlier
Late and later
1)he came to office early
2)he came to office earlier.
3)he came to class late.
4)he came to class later.
Good morning from here teacher.
Good morning, Elizete!
Great clarification Minoo, I was in doubt about that.
Just picture this situation:
I'm telling someone else what I talked with other friend about, kind of reported speech, and I say: I recommended him/her to see a doctor, I recommended him/her seeing a doctor or I recommended seeing a doctor to him/her.
Which one is correct? or, what's the right way to do it in this case?
I look forward to your answer!!!
Hello Eusebio! I'm glad the lesson has been helpful.
Great question!
Interestingly, the most grammatically correct sentence remains the same:
Direct: I said, 'I recommend that you see a doctor.'
Reported: I recommended that he see a doctor.
The form we're using is the Present Subjunctive. You can learn more about this in my lesson called 'Subjunctive' for more details.
@@AngloLinkEnglish thanks so much!!!
You're very welcome.
Every gift I have got so far has been/is the best in its own right.
What should I use(Is or has been)?
I'd say 'has been'.
Oh hello Minoo!
Hello! First again! No phone yet?
Thanks in advance for your lessons.
I want to clarify something... if the action doesn't involve me, I can't use the gerund form(situation 2). Is it correct?
You're welcome.
Not if you're talking directly to the other person/people, but you can use the gerund for general recommendations:
Talking to your friends: I suggest booking our flight early.
Talking in general, e.g. as a tour operator: I always recommend booking flights early.
Please make a video about the use of Suggest and Recommend.
Is it correct to say in this situation?
Situation:
1(Would you recommend me for this job?
2) He recommended me for this job.
3) Would you recommend her for this job?
4) He recommended her for this job.
Any Error in any of these sentences.
I also saw this in Oxford Dictionary:
Could you please confirm? Thanks
recommend somebody to do something
We'd recommend you to book your flight early.
Interesting!
I just checked three other dictionaries.
Collins has a similar sentence without 'to':
We recommend you book early to secure your place.
McMillan uses it only in the Passive structure where the person is the object:
Students are recommended to read the following books.
Cambridge has no example with 'to'.
I would stick to the 'Subjunctive' structure: I recommend (that) you ... except in the McMillan example.
Hello again Minoo! We sometimes use the past to show some emergency. Ex: I suggest you WENT to see a doctor! Pussy cat lover has been here again, still not replace my lost phone.😒
Hello again!
I must say I haven't come across this structure before!
Hii,if today is Wednesday,what is past week and last week.please help me
💯
Thank you!
I’d add that: after suggest/ recommend: the verb is in its original form.
For example: I recommend that he see a lawyer.
Is it correct, Minoo?
Absolutely! This form is called the Present Subjunctive. I have a lesson called 'Subjunctive' if you want to dig deeper.
🙏
Welcome!
Hi madam ,long time no see
Yes, I know! Sorry for the long absence!
Hi ,
There are subtle differences or let's say confusion between suggestions, recommendations and giving advice. My question is how to distinguish between them according to the situations.
They're very often interchangeable.
Maybe you would 'advise' and 'recommend' more often when you're an expert in the subject, and 'suggest' things that sound good to you.
@@AngloLinkEnglish
Thank you very much for your help .
Madam,
Could you please tell me?
Which one is correct?
1)I have some doubts in english
2)I have some doubts about english
3)I have some doubts on English
Please help me with this doubt
Things that we claim to have our lifestyles facilitated by have been created by humans.
Is this sentence grammatically correct?
It's grammatically correct, but it doesn't make sense to use the 'causative have' here. A better sentence is: ...................... to have facilitated our lives have been ....
In first case we must use after that infinite.
That's okay
I like how you have started posting weekly videos. Please don't go now 🥺
Thank you, Ankit! I'll do my best to post weekly.
12:42 And even MORE in American English !!!! 😅🇺🇸
Where are you located madam
I'm in the U.K.
I'm located in india
Nice!
😘
Thank you!
Hello dear teacher !
When you say " I recommend you book a table in advance" don’t you think that adding "in advance" is really necessary?
Isn't it à pleonasm? Because, of course if you book a table, it's necessary ",in advance"...
I think that among all French speakers, many of them say "préparer à l'avance". By the by French people make many mistakes in their own language!

Hello Mona,
Yes, now that you mention it, 'in advance' is redundant, but it's a common redundancy in everyday speech.
Hello mam
Hello!
what about advice?
That's the easy one:
You advise someone to do something.
Great lecture! My teacher, you're getting older
Thank you! I am indeed, but hopefully wiser too :-)
@@AngloLinkEnglish Of course, you are!
You are beautiful....
Thank you!
I recommend you see a doctor.
he recommend I see a doctor.
he advise me to see a doctor.
he recommend seeing a doctor to my friend.
I have doubt about the last one, if so, how can we explain this situation.
thanks
1. correct
2. correct, but remember the 's': He recommends ...
3. Again, 's' or 'ed' is missing: He advised me to see ....
4. He recommends that my friend SEE a doctor.
Notice that there's no 's' on SEE.
To find out why, please watch my lesson called 'Subjunctive'.
