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 YouTube 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.

Here you will find all the support you need to reach your goal of speaking English with confidence and ease!

I just love the way you explain, and also the sound of your voice, THANK YOU!

[AngloLinkEnglish]

That's right. And, I review all the Tenses again in my video entitled 'ALL TENSES', which also has a supplementary exercise video.

[garimajain]

nice way of teaching and excellent explanations ... It helped me a lot . :)

[TheEnglishator]

Excellent....my confusion these two structures....! Thanks a lot!

[AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, as I mentioned in the lesson, for 'timetables' connected with your arrangements, you should use the Present Simple Tense. Therefore, your three sentences are all correct.

[sktdaviskt]

I am sure that you`re the best teacher that I`ve ever seen.

[AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, they should give you enough context to know. If they give you a very precise time such as at 5:00 tomorrow, it is clearly an appointment. If they just say 'next week', 'this month' etc. and there isn't enough information to be sure it is an appointment or arrangement, then I would choose 'going to'.

[sonjalr]

Your lessons are great! You excellently systematize grammar! Thank you!

[DanielaLanz]

I love your classes! everything is getting clear now

[nottheprincess]

I have been learning English for so long, I would say you’re a great teacher. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[alassanndiallo]

I really appreciate the hard work you're doing . Your ways of teaching are really good . They are clear and so complete .

[AngloLinkEnglish]

You can say: 'We have a meeting this coming Monday.' Here, you are using the verb 'have' as a STATE verb to mean 'experience'. You probably have a meeting every Monday
You can say: 'We are having a meeting this coming Monday.' Here, you are using the verb 'have' as an ACTION verb to mean 'hold, organise'. It has a more active sense, and it is probably a special meeting.

[mirmir]

She's the best English teacher. The way she explains all the lessons are so clear and understandable. Thank you khaarhari azizam!

[dilshadnizar]

[MasterBott]

She is definitely one of a kind. However, they are many other great teachers on youtube.

Minoo, I could never go wrong with your exercises after the way you've just explained the subject lol. Good work!

[pilarochoa]

The way You explain Grammar is very helpful And easy. I like it. Thank You so much.

[legendrexy]

Thx for all these tense lessons that really help out we as non English speakers a lot!

[AngloLinkEnglish]

I will be doing a video on 'Articles' soon. However, I am not sure what you mean by 'Verb Patterns'. If you mean 'Verb Tenses', I have already covered them extensively.

[osamaal-howar]
