## Resource

Anyway, what were you saying? Anyway, I should get going. I didn’t really want to go, but I went anyway. It was expensive, but I bought it anyway. Anyway is one of those very common conversational words that can do a few different jobs. Sometimes we use it to return to the main topic. Sometimes we use it to move a conversation forward or bring it to an end. And sometimes we use it to mean that something happened despite a reason for it not to happen. Have you ever wondered about the different ways we use anyway? If so, you’re in luck—because today, we’re going to look at all the ways you can use anyway naturally in everyday English.
