NEW SKILLS
Using the wh-ever words
Read the diagram out loud with your tutor. Try using each word in a sentence about your own life.
Using “however” (to use with commas or not)
“However” when used to mean ‘no matter how’ or ‘in whatever way’ doesn’t need commas. When you have 2 clauses that contrast each other, you will use a comma.
Examples:
- I want you to finish your report today however busy you are.
- You can dress however you like for the party.
- I don’t agree with you, however, I do understand your point of view.
- He has good intentions, however, sometimes he can be rude.
