mitsuwao23Would you rephrase the sentence below

I think the only way to rephrase this is " and so changing the subject completely...."

Mitsuo23 · Answer

sorry but, I'm still not sure. Do you use it when you change a subject?

Thank for your reply, anyway.

LouiseT · Answer

It is used to introduce a new subject or move on to a different part of the same topic.

The example above looks to me as though the speaker had something unpleasant that he needed to say or had to say and then wanted to move on to something more pleasant. It can be used in this way or to move the subject forward.

Imagine a wedding reception. The best man has just got up and told us all the great things about the couple who are getting married. He then tells a funny story about the groom. He might then say

"....... and on that note, I give you the groom". This means that even though the groom maybe embarrassed or amused by this story it is now his turn to make a speech.

Do these two examples help your understanding?

Thank you for taking your time for the writing. I think I've got your point, even though can be sure for 100 percent. I'll catch it on every time I use it anyway.

Thanks again, I very much appreciate you.
