Hello everybody,

Please correct my English speaking that I have done to foreign people who came to the embassy last week. I hope I will practice the best for next time with your help.

There is a visitor who came to the embassy to submit application for visa and pay for visa, however my friend who responsible for visa nothing in the office. So, he asked if I could help him.

Then I told him like this sentence below:

Well, you can leave your application here with me, however the payment for visa must direct to Ms.Dona.

Is that correct answer?

Thanks in advance.

I’m sure that the visitor understood you. However:

Well, you can leave your application here with me. However, the fee for your visa must be paid directly to Ms.Dona.

Thank you very much Mr.Micawber.

Dear coach Beeesneees,

would it be all right to say it this way below?

I am writing to you so as to request for sick leave as I have got an upset stomach and…

Thanks

7

I am writing to request sick leave as I have (got) an upset stomach and…

‘for sick leave’ is wrong here. ‘Got’ is unnecessary.

8

I hear that However is an alternative to But in some situations.

  1. If we want to start a new sentence (after one sentence), it should start with ‘However’. Is this correct?

You can use it. BUT, you have to pay something.

Instead of the usage above,we use like below:
You can use it. However, you have to pay something.

9

Yes, in formal, grammatically correct usage, a new sentence would start with ‘however’ (a connective) rather than ‘but’ (a conjunction).

Connectives are words or phrases that link clauses or sentences.
Conjunctions are used to link words or clauses within a sentence.
All conjunctions are also connectives, but not all connectives are conjunctions.
