discourse markers (2): adverbs and adverbial expressions

GRAMMAR BANK

a Circle the correct discourse marker.

A What a good film! I really enjoyed it. And you?
B Actually/ Incidentally I didn't like it very much.

A Why not?

B 1 Basically / After all, I thought the plot was completely unbelievable.

A I wouldn't call it unbelievable. 2 In other words / In any case, it wasn't supposed to be a true story.

B I know, but it was set in a specific historical period. 3 Otherwise / Obviously, you can't expect the dialogue to be totally authentic, 4 I mean / on the other hand, nobody knows exactly how people spoke in Roman times, but 5 besides / at least the details should be right. There were cannons in the battle scene and they weren't invented till a thousand years later! 6 All in all / That is to say, I thought it was a pretty awful film.

A We'll have to agree to disagree then. 7 By the way / As a matter of fact, do you know what time the last bus leaves? I don't want to miss it. 8 Otherwise / In any case, I'll have to get a taxi home.

B 11.40. Don't worry, we've got plenty of time. 9 In fact / Besides, I think we've even got time to have something to eat. There's a good Italian restaurant just round the corner.
