Explain it please.

Usually I read the word " OTHERWISE" in the end of sentense as I know that it could be come at the beginning of it other than the ending. For example here is a sentense:

"BUT THE FACT CAN BE PERFECTLY WELL EXPLAINED OTHERWISE"

So please
tell me what the uses are for this word?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what troubles you. r=66 ]DICTIONARY[/url] says it does. As an adverb or subordinate conjunction, it won't be seen at the beginning of a sentence, but it needn't occur only at the end, either.

I know it dear.
In the mid sentense I do not have any problem.
Let me give you an example now:

Phone home, otherwise your parents will start to worry.

It is easy to get

But when it comes at the end of sentense then I get problem to make sense.

Right now I do not have a sentence so that I can write it down here.

So please find such sente

So please explain it.

Do not call me 'dear', Starkhan. That is quite rude. Use 'dear' only with your own family or girlfriend/boyfriend.

But I still do not know what you want me to explain about this sentence: I'd need more context to think otherwise. 'Otherwise' just means 'in a different or opposite way'.

I am extremely sorry for saying Dear!
And second thing is I do not know how to tell you.
By the way thanks for assisting me.
