bolo underlying portion of the passage if it all nevertheless
- 00:29
and hear the financial answers All right what do you
- 00:31
think Well nevertheless is not what poe's raven kept squawking
- 00:35
about Uh we're not sure we tuned it out after
- 00:37
about the fifth time Say something interesting or fly back
- 00:40
outside and bother someone else That's our feelings on the
- 00:42
matter Okay passage time Where does nevertheless show up And
- 00:47
what other words have it surrounded Well here we go
- 00:50
Well the scam began when soto maior claiming to be
- 00:54
a new jersey priest called a fatima sister and said
- 00:57
that a deceased member of his parish community had named
- 01:00
her the beneficiary of a two point one million dollar
- 01:03
estate Nevertheless none of it was true Wow this guy
- 01:08
seems like a real sweetheart We're pretty sure impersonating a
- 01:10
priest a swindle Nuns ranks right up there with pickpocketing
- 01:13
and orphan and mugging a puppy who could ever hold
- 01:16
up a face like that at gunpoint So we get
- 01:18
a description of everything sotomayor told this poor woman and
- 01:22
then we're told that nevertheless none of it was true
- 01:25
Well the word nevertheless can be used to show a
- 01:27
contrast but we're more likely to use it when something
- 01:30
is true But a second thing happens anyway like it
- 01:33
was true that tunney's big sister sara had gotten a
- 01:35
ride in front seat of the last four trips to
- 01:38
the mall Nevertheless she was going to sit there again
- 01:41
because what was that little pip squeak going to do
- 01:44
about it Or tania The point is nevertheless a quite
- 01:46
work here so let's shop around what's option b selling
- 01:50
could it be on the other hand And we've basically
- 01:52
got same issue here that we had with never less
- 01:55
when we say on the other hand were generally considering
- 01:57
two opposing possibilities like sarah considered being nice for once
- 02:01
and offering her sir is in the front seat on
- 02:03
the other hand being mean made her feel oh so
- 02:06
much better though it ain't b d consequently well we
- 02:09
use this word when one thing is a consequence of
- 02:12
another obviously which isn't the case in this passage It
- 02:15
might be if we said something like sarah was unyielding
- 02:19
in her insistence that she once again sit infront consequently
- 02:22
Tanya kick the back of her sister see the entire
- 02:24
ride Well we can scratch the which leaves us with
- 02:27
seat Of course yeah we're just kind of saying that
- 02:30
based on what we've been told previously about this soda
- 02:33
moya our character were not the least bit surprised that
- 02:36
he'd pull something like this So we throw in of
- 02:39
course in there and option c it is Oh and
- 02:41
of course tania totally forgot about her sister's ability and 00:02:45.09 --> [endTime] pull the recline lever
