Mind you/still
‘Mind you’ is an informal linking word used in spoken English. Mind you’ points out what you are going to say as an afterthought contradicts what has already been said. ‘Still’ can be used in a similar way.
- Ex: Scientists in this country work for long hours in very difficult conditions. ‘Mind you’, they’re well paid for the work they do.
- Ex: The exam was very difficult even for smart students. ‘Still’, the teacher gave the minimum score of B- for their hard work.
