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 RUclips 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.com.
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' Conversation Club to boost your speaking skills. Memberships start from US$6.50 per month.
I'll do it immediately
What are the different order ?
this is so helpful thank you
The correct question is 'Who is this for?'
You will find the explanation in my video lesson in this Channel entitled 'Questions'.
You are just too good. The way you explain makes things so easy.Great job. Well done!!!!!
Is this free class? Unbelievable!!!!! Such a great information without charging a single penny!!!! God bless you teacher...
Thank you!
Certainly. A phrasal verb, like an ordinary verb, along with its associated object, will go in the WHAT position.
There is a lesson on phrasal verbs if you want to review them. The video lessons on 'make & do' and 'to get' also include some phrasal verbs.
@Sebastian Dix
Yes, 'them' is the indirect object, because it is preceded by a preposition (with).
'the terms of the contract' is the direct object.
Thank you! Could you provide any written evidence by a renowned publisher?
Sebastian Dix
Hello Sebabstian,
My purpose in my RUclips lessons is to give students guidelines that will help them write and speak more confidently. Therefore, I do not stick to pure linguistic concepts and definitions, which can become unnecessarily overwhelming or confusing.
For your purpose, no, a renowned publisher would not classify 'with them' as an 'indirect object'. They would probably call it a 'prepositional complement', although there doesn't seem to be much of a consensus about the types and names of complements.
Anglo-Link Thank you for clearing this up, I think your explanation is useful.
Anglo-Link bitch
syed ak asak Why would you say anything like that, I wonder? Is this how you treat other people as well? You must be very sick.
A well made video with clear explanations. An excellent ESL resource. My students found if VERY helpful and so did I.
Dear ghostr1der66, This comment is inappropriate and a waste of your time and mine. I suggest you remove it or risk being reported.
Thanks Minoo! it helps me a lot to understant the correct way to talk.
This is the best lesson I've ever had !!!
Thank you very much for this great lesson.
''Great Knowledge from a Great Teacher ''...
Thank you for such a great lesson...Teachers like you are really an asset for a country.Love you..
Thanks teacher minoo, again you've explained this topic so clearly. You are God's gift to us who desperately want to learn and hopefully speak fluently in english. I hope you will continue doing this. Im glad and thankful i've found this site.
I would say, yes, you can also use this guideline in complex sentences that have sub-clauses. I would recommend that you use commas to guide your own construction, and simplify the reader's task:
The director, who is a friend of mine, sent an e-mail, which I have not yet read, to various organisations last week to inform them of his decision.
It explains how we order different types of information (actor, action, object, place, etc.) in a sentence.
Alhamdulillah .... Great! It's an exceptional way of learning English sentence formation. Very easy to understand, learn and implement.
Excellent! I'm glad this has been helpful to you.
I'm majoring in English, and I love to come back to these videos and review simple stuff. I should point out, though, that I once was an English language learner. :)
Hi
MY i have your whtsap no
Your English lessons are very helpful to us. Thank you for your valuable teaching materials.
You will find your answer in the three video lessons on Modal verbs in this Channel.
Thank you very mach !
It was very helpful !
You can use one of these two expressions:
- He threw the door open.
- He burst in through the door.
1 who 2 what 3 where 4 when 5 how 6 why
Thank you so much! This lesson is great!
I wish I've had a teacher like you when I was on school!
Amazing lessons as always. The colours are so helpful~! Great idea Minoo~!
excellent job, teacher thank you
juan carmona i
Terrific! You are a great teacher.God Bless You.
like the way you speak to let us understand everything you say! thanks!!
Using the color scheme was very smart : )
I think that block of lessons is vey helpful for anyone who is learning English language
Yes Mariana ! I met you! it's a quite helpful to anybody who are learning English, So do I! And you?
This really helpful and very easy way to understand the grammar. Thank you so much Minoo.
No, native speakers do not always and necessarily follow this order. They have a feeling when they can play with the order and when not.
This is really a guide for non-native speakers when they wonder what the best order is to achieve maximum accuracy and clarity.
@Anglo-Link
Thank you is not enough for you really!
I've been studying English language when I was 13, and this the first time in my educational life have know this approach to build sentence structure.
Me too
Hii
I found this at one order post some days ago and I was surprised at the order to which you can construct sentences easily and you can think faster and build around a simple sentence..
This is a really solid video. Thank you! Might I recommend something? The video content is great, but for some students, it might be useful for them to read the closed captioning so they can hear and read the words (enhancing their learning). Cleaning up the closed-captioning file is pretty easy. You can go into "Edit" on the video and click on the "Captions" tab. You can then clean them up so that your viewers can get the most out of your video. Thanks!
I love your videos ma'am. It's easy to understand and your english is so fluent. I wish all my previous english teachers were like you.
Yes, 'how' would be the correct question word for adverbs of manner such as 'slowly'.
I would put 'late' after 'to school' and before 'yesterday', as part of the 'when element'.
'To school' is the 'where' element.
Thanks Minoo great work ....keep it up.
Thank you for such a precious video!!!
Thank you Minoo for such an excellent teaching,you have a great voice and smile.....
This is what i was looking for. Amazing !!!
Its very useful trick, Thanks mam..
This is the best English lesson ever I have come across in 15 years!
Thank you!
There are some tests on our website anglo-link(dot) come that will give you an idea of your grammatical level. If you want a complete test of all your skills, I would recommend Cambridge exams such as FCE or IELTS.
Great job and thank you for educating the public .
I'll always remember to subscribe is the best
Thank you for this video, it goes to the root of English grammar, to enhance even further this topic, please can you include another one with more complex examples. Thanks again.
On their own, the preposition with 'morning, afternoon and evening' is 'the': in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening. However, when you specify a certain 'afternoon', the preposition changes to 'on': 'On a September afternoon', 'on the afternoon of 2nd July', 'on the afternoon of that day'.
Anglo Link - videos are too good! Rather PERFECT!! No one can make mistakes, neither understanding nor using!!
+Madhu Maniar
Thank you very much, Madhu. I'm glad you've enjoyed my lessons.
what elements does 'as we arrived' in sentence ' he looked at us as we arrived'?
I have seen many videos for learning English but I think it is the best till now.
Thank you so much teacher, I have learnt so much from you!
Thank you for this excellent explanation, I believe it well be very usefull to me in my way to improve my English language .
I learned a lot thx
You're most welcome, Samuel.
thank's very much ^^
In my guidelines on word order, I have chosen to put 'how' after 'where' and 'when' in such sentences as 'I go to work everyday by car.' And generally, it works in that position for other adverbs of manner too. With 'ly' adverbs, as I explain in my video 'Word Order Part 2', you can also put them nearer the verb 'He sat in the room quietly.' / He sat quietly in the room.' or He quietly sat in the room.', depending on how much you want to stress the manner.
So how about this then: I normally workout in the gym after lunch a lot. Can I also swap after lunch and a lot? Or does the adverb of frequency because it is phrasal always go in final position? The grammar book did not entirely point that one out
Thank you soooooooo much! I'm a Chinese ESL learner, and I'm very good at English, save for Spoken English. Your videos explain many puzzles for me since I start to learn English 16 years ago, I appreciate to see more. Great content!
Thank you! I'm really glad that my lessons have clarified some of your doubts.
nice idea.....
U are great teacher! I love you classes.
I can not tell how good you are ! what a great teaching method ! I understand every word you say, every semtences you explain. Well done dear.
Thank you so much for caring, you are gifted with caring voice and personality.
Great! I have ever seen this kind of explanation for sentence formation.
Thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed this lesson, Mani. You may want to watch my more recent lesson on Word Order, where I review these points, and give more information on the 'how' element, which can be in different places.
@@AngloLinkEnglish Sure. I will watch the recent one as well.
Great! Here's the link to it: ruclips.net/video/HtmiVotX61M/видео.html
@@AngloLinkEnglish Thanks!
Excellent Video! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (just google it)? It is a good exclusive product for beating depression fast without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin at last got astronomical results with it.
Vey nice lesson :)
Thankyuu !
You are amazing! Your voice ! Your teaching methods! Unbelievable! Wonderful!
Thank you very much for your very kind comment, Elshan!
Too good!!!!!
Use of the colours is making it easy to understand!

Hello teacher, first i want to tell you that this lesson has been so useful to me... Thank you so much :)
Could you help me?
How is the "ing" form used?
And
When is "to" used with verbs?
Dairo Rendón
You're welcome, Dario.
I haven't yet done a video lesson on 'to do' versus 'doing. However, there is a lesson about this on my website www.anglo-link.com. Click on 'Exercises' and then scroll down to Anglo-File 114: Gerund & Infinitive.
You may find my video on 'Past Tenses' useful.
My weakness in learning English is word order. You make me get better at it after watching this video. It means a lot. ❤️✨
hey ma'am,can you please make a video on reading comprehension(high lvl- for exams such as GMAT,CAT.IELTS),it would be a huge favour if u do so.
Hello Nikita,
I've made a note of your request, but I have a few other topics on my to-do list, which means that this won't happen any time soon. I'm sure you can find many other YT videos on this topic.

This is one of the best lessons I have had in my life. Thank you so much
+yeyidj
You're most welcome.
I really want to change my writing for this post to what i've learned from the lessons.
You have really helped me out with my family i've also learned things i've forgotten.
Hi, i confused position of "How". Here, the HOW comes after WHEN, however it says after WHERE in Anglo-link`s website. Which one updated?
The position of 'how' changes depending on what it describes. Go with the updated lesson on my online course.
@@AngloLinkEnglish thanks for quick response
unlimited thanks to Minu
Your video lessons are so helpful, thank you so much!
My pleasure, Leonardo.
loved it! thanks a lot :)
Hello there! I just want to clarify something, you have another video which you mention another word orderr: WHO WHAT HOW WHERE WHEN WHY. Which of these we need to follow? I hope you could answer my queries. Thank you and God bless.
Hello Eward!
The reason for the difference is that 'how' goes in different places depending on what it describes. Go with the order in my other video, but pay attention to the exception I explain in that video as well.
No thank you for teaching me how to do word susher
Thank you so much! You're really good! Kudos!!
Both sentences are correct. Generally, if you continue with 'OR', it is better to use 'whether': I don't know whether you know this or not.' 'I don't know whether he has passed or failed.'
u force us to work with this in school when u make these sort of video
dont blame her, blame hanna for this shit bruh
It´s incredible!!..It took me several time and many years to understand ...and by now Minoo..I can see the light at the end of the tunnel... thanks a lot...kisses
This lesson got too clearly. Thank you !
You're very welcome.
The most helpful English learning channel on RUclips. Thank you teacher.
Thank you very much for your support!
Muy buenas lecciones.Enhorabuena.Saludos.
There are no strict punctuation rules in English. As a rule of thumb, when we pause briefly while speaking, we use a comma, and when we have a longer pause, which is usually when you start a new sentence, we use a full-stop.
You are the best English teacher i have ever seen.Keep it Up.
Thanks for your wonderful teaching!
My pleasure, Niranjan!
thank you very much for the videos :)
You are right. The correct answer is 'having done his homework ...'. 'Having his homework done' is causative, and would indicate that he asked someone else to do it for him.
The best link for ordering of sentences.Thank You!
You're welcome, Mouni!
I have recently done another lesson on Word Order. In this one, I explain the position of 'how' more clearly. Please watch this one too: ruclips.net/video/HtmiVotX61M/видео.html
Your videos are just perfect!!
Very useful, Thank you very much!
Thank you for your lesson. Awesome!
You're very welcome.
This is what I need! Thank you Minoo
Superb explanation.
Thank you mam.
You have explained each and every part of the word order. I watched the second part of the video and I took the full advantage of this.
Today I felt that I got to know something new in English grammar.
I am happy because of your tutorial.
Love and support from Kathmandu Nepal 🙏🙏🙏❤️♥️♥️👍👍👍🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
You're centainly the best teacher, thanks for this amazing video.

An excellent and clear to understand lesson. Thank you very much for your help.
You are welcome, Angela!
Thank you for such an excellent work. I am going to follow this link permanently.
Thank u very much. Use of the different colors is EFFECTIVE . And helping a beginner to understand easily.
thank you for this. I sometimes switched the orders of the components and with this I have learned a lot.
You're very welcome.
Excellent lesson! I was so confuse until now.
+Chris Armint
Thank you, Chris. I'm glad this has been helpful to you.
That's right. Some verbs and expressions need a preposition and some don't. There are no rules about this. You need to learn the correct preposition as part of the verb or expression. That's why it is always better to learn vocabulary in a phrase or sentence and in a clear context, instead of on its own and through word for word translation.
Thanks! Very useful !
