Listen to the audio and complete the sentence below.
That's a valid point. BLANK, we've been using collaboration tools to keep everyone connected.
However
This word is used to introduce a contrasting idea. The first letter is capitalized.
However is used to acknowledge an opposing view before presenting a counterargument. This structure makes disagreements more balanced and respectful in discussions. For example:
The app is user-friendly. However, it still has some performance issues. - The app is easy to use, but there are speed problems.
The software update improved security. However, it introduced a few new bugs. - The update made the system safer, but it also created some issues.
Anna first agrees with David's concern by saying That’s a valid point. Then, she introduces a different perspective using however to explain that collaboration tools help solve the problem.
