We're back with more discourse markers: last week it was stuff we say in conversation - this week, we're looking into the ones we can use in essays and reports. The Idiom of the Week is 'To bite your head off.'

Like us on Facebook (properenglish2019), and follow us on Twitter (@properenglish4) or YouTube . Oh, and if you have a burning English grammar-related question, why not ask us on Instagram (properenglish2019), and we'll do our best to answer - or, if you're an email kind of person, and you have any feedback or suggestions for future podcasts, you can always contact us at [email protected].
