👉 Regardless; anyhow.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! You’ve got a tricky word there – “anyway.” The dictionary is right, it does mean "regardless" and "anyhow," but let's dig a little deeper than just the definition. Think of it like this: sometimes we start a sentence with a plan, a thought, or an expectation. But then…life happens! Something shifts, something changes, and we move on to a different topic. “Anyway” is often used when you’re gently steering the conversation away from that initial idea. It's like saying, "Okay, I was going to tell you about this," but then deciding, “You know what? Let’s talk about something else!" Here are some rhymes to help it stick: “I was gonna say, it’s true, But anyway, let's shift the view!” It can also be used as a little filler word – like saying “anyway” when you’re pausing before answering. Don’t overdo it, of course! Do you understand now? Can anyone give me an example of how they might use "anyway" in a sentence?
