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!

[rishirohan]

You are the best teacher. Thank you so much teacher.

[AngloLinkEnglish]

You are right. Both are correct, but as you have said yourself with different connotations: one's opinion (should), and one's assumption 'must'. 'should' has a softer friendlier connotation.

[mohamedtifa]

You are the Great Teacher, thanks for you effort

[bevymckenzie]

This lady is called by God to be a teacher. Not everyone is called to be a teacher. wish she was my english teacher in the passed. I really love english. Must book myself st my local college to brush up on my english for personal development. Will follow this link more closely

[abbygail]

Thank you so much for information

[AngloLinkEnglish]

Prepositions (of, with etc.) and articles (a, an, the) may be basic, but they are quite challenging to use correctly.
The only way to learn and use prepositions is by learning them in context and as part of an expression.
There are some guidelines that can help with the use of articles, and I will soon be doing a lesson on articles.

[AngloLinkEnglish]

As 'dare' is not a word we use a lot, I prefer to teach it in expressions such as 'I wouldn't dare tell him.' or 'Don't you dare do that!' And I might then mention that it can also be followed by 'infinitive with to'.

[AngloLinkEnglish]

I have just double-checked with a couple of sources, and they also confirm that 'must' suggests that it is the speaker who has decided that something is necessary, whereas 'have to' suggests that somebody else has imposed the obligation.

[thiernohamidoubarry]

Hello teacher your are wonderful, I'm very happy with your lessons .It's easy and useful, thanks .

[Abdulaliable]

All your lessons are excellent. I am an English Teacher for 50 years. You have guided me a lot. I got a good name from my students because of your presentations. Thank you.

[AngloLinkEnglish]

There are audio materials on our website, anglo-link(dot)com, for all the levels and particularly useful for pronunciation practice. These can be bought as downloadable files which you can then use off-line.

[ramdasmandal]

Madam, you are God gifted with clear and harmonical voice that repeatedly attracts to speak English like you.

[carlostarangomiranda]

This video helped me a lot. We use have to / must / should + infinitive to talk about obligation, things that are necessary to do, or to give advice about things that are a good idea to do.

[AngloLinkEnglish]

The answer to your second question:
'regret' is usually followed by the gerund: I regret doing / having done something.
'I regret to tell you / inform you etc.' is an expression meaning 'I am sorry to have to tell you / inform you ....'

[stefficruz]
