HOWEVER
Bạn có thể bắt đầu một câu bằng từ "HOWEVER" không?
It is fine to start a sentence with however. You just need to know when not to use a comma, when to use a comma, and when to use a semicolon.
Bắt đầu một câu bằng "however" không sao cả. Bạn chỉ cần biết khi nào không dùng dấu phẩy (,), khi nào dùng dấu phẩy (,) và khi nào dùng dấu chấm phẩy (;).
I. "However" without a Comma => a Modifier
"However" không có dấu phẩy theo sau => từ bổ nghĩa.
If you use however at the beginning of a sentence and don't insert a comma, however means "no matter how."
Nếu bạn dùng "however" ở đầu một câu và không đặt dấu phẩy, lúc này "however" có nghĩa là "cho dù... thế nào".
=> "however + adj/adv" và "(no matter) how + adj/adv" là trạng từ nên có thể đứng trước một tính từ hoặc một trạng từ khác.
=> however good/well/bad/badly/hard etc: = no matter how good/well/bad/badly/hard etc:
=> However hungry I am, I never seem to be able to finish off a whole pizza. (adj.)
=> No matter how hungry I am, I never seem to be able to finish off a whole pizza. (adj.)
Dù cho tôi đói thế nào đi chăng nữa, tôi cũng không thể nào ăn hết nổi một cái bánh pizza.

II. "However" with a Comma => a Connector
"However" có dấu phẩy theo sau => liên từ
If you use however at the beginning of a sentence and insert a comma after it, however means "nevertheless" or "but".
Nếu bạn dùng "however" ở đầu một câu và đặt dấu phẩy sau nó, lúc này "however" có nghĩa là "Tuy nhiên, tuy thế, nhưng mà".
=> Used to introduce a statement that contrasts with something that has just been said; or used when you are changing the subject
=> Được dùng để giới thiệu một phát biểu tương phản với một vấn đề gì đó vừa được nói; hoặc được dùng khi bạn muốn đổi chủ đề.

III. "However" with a Semicomma => a Connector
"However" có dấu phẩy theo sau => liên từ
A semicolon, rather than a comma, should precede conjunctive adverbs when they link two complete sentences.
Nên đặt một dấu chấm phẩy, không dùng dấu phẩy, trước các trạng từ liên từ khi chúng nối hai mệnh đề độc lập với nhau.
