We can use it when we want to show that there is a contrast between what we are saying in one part of the sentence and in the other. For example:</p> <p><code>Though it rained, we went on a picnic.</code></p> <p>We can also use it to contrast what was said in an earlier sentence, as below:</p> <p><code>It rained. We went on a picnic, though.<br /> She's not very pretty. I really like her, though.</code></p> <p>Hope this helps, husam. </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/baby-words#post-64 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 23:29:53 +0000 RebeccaESL 64@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>One goes through many stages in speaking a language. It depends on so many different factors, including what's going on in your life in general. Sometimes we speak in simple sentences, and sometimes more complex ones. </p> <p>If you'd like to use complex vocabulary more effectively,you could undertake a systematic program of vocabulary study, through books, magazines, websites, news programs, newspapers, etc. Make sure you do something active, like making sentences with the new words, or else they will remain in your passive vocabulary only. You could also check any of the most popular media websites such as BBC, which has special ESL sections which help you to understand vocabulary related to the daily news. This makes sense, and also enables you to speak about what's going on in the world, which makes your learning more practical and relevant. </p> <p>Good for you that you care enough to want to improve. All the best to you and let me know how it goes. </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/baby-words#post-63 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:42:48 +0000 caviare 63@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>Hi Rebecca,<br /> I have learned English for 7 years . I can speak quite fluently but suddenly I realize that I only say baby words .You know words i use are very simple , very common and basic . And that the reason why i always talk about anything with a long sentence even in that case can use a short sentence with effective vocabularies . And there are many things I cant express . My question is how to use complex and advanced words when speaking naturally .<br /> I hope u will response .<br /> Thank you so much </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/whts-difference-betweem-happen-occur#post-62 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 22:48:41 +0000 weer 62@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> Wht's difference betweem - happen - occur ? and When should I used eash one? </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/put-more-videos-rebeca#post-61 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 20:52:06 +0000 RebeccaESL 61@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>Okay, Mo.

I think it's the easier way to manage the things we are leaning using that method. Sorry if either I did some mistakes or this don't make any sense but my english it's not advanced yet(I am still working on it), I hope that this help . For any question please send me an email:marcos.sousa@gmail.com, and to know how "Calendar" works access "http://www.google.com/calendar", you must have an gmail account to use it..I think it worths... </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/the-word-though#post-56 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:15:12 +0000 husam 56@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>hi rebecca .... i wounder if you could explain the word though ......... how to use it and when to use and what is it mean exactly.</p> <p>thanks alot </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/questions-or-requests#post-55 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 23:43:44 +0000 engVid 55@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>Hey, everyone.

The Structure section existed in the older TOEFL CBT - the Computer Based Test. In most parts of the world, you can only take the TOEFL iBT - Internet Based Test - now and I hope that is the case for you. If you do still need to do the older exam in your country, then you will have to focus on detailed aspects of grammar and do as many practice tests as possible. First check which TOEFL exam you need to do!</p> <p>Rebecca </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/what-country-is-every-one-from#post-48 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 12:07:16 +0000 jugurgel 48@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>I`m from BRAZIL!!! </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/structure-test-in-toefl#post-47 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 20:20:26 +0000 husam 47@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>yes it is karen92, and thanks for backing me up on this. </p> http://www.engvid.com/forum/topic/what-country-is-every-one-from#post-46 Tue, 23 Dec 2008 03:37:22 +0000 engVid 46@http://www.engvid.com/forum/ <p>That is a great suggestion, Karen.
