CHANGING SUBJECT
          “By the way” shows
          a change of subject.







          “As I was saying” returns to a
          previous subject after a change
          of subject or an interruption.






          “Anyway” returns to a subject
          after an interruption or a change
          in subject. It can also end a
          subject or a conversation.







                  CONCEDING A POINT                        FURTHER EXAMPLES

         Certain words can be used to agree to, or concede,
         a point, particularly after first doubting it to be true.
