ITs a different emphasize on the meaning of the sentence. The first one what to emphasize more on "reading" while the second sentence look upon "My favourite skill".

Hi Kheang,
How have you been?For me Fan Dabbi Dozy. I think the first one is better and more correct. But in my opinion, I think between"HOWEVER" we usually use semi-colon and comma.Come from your friend.

Hi! Kheang. I'm happy to see you,too.But my answer was wrong because I confuse the word"however" function as coujuntive adv. In fact, the second one just simple adv and it is used between two verb.I hope you will forgive me for my mistake.Thank.

can you tell me which one is better or correct? 1. Reading, however, has been my favourite skill. 2. Reading has, however, been my favoutite skill. To make it more natural, your second sentence " Reading has, however, been my favorite skill" should have been written " Reading has however been my favorite skill". The comma isn't needed in the sentence. So the first one is more natural. Yet if you omit the comma from the second sentence, it appears to be the same thing!! Kimlong |

That's okay, samnang.  Kimlong, if we write the sentence alone, we can freely omit commas, right? What if we add a sentence before each of them? which one should be used? 1. My reading is poor. It, however, has been my favourite skill. 2. My reading is poor. It has, however, been my favourite skill. Thanks in advance.  |

Yes, if the sentence is written following by fore-writing a sentence, it is acceptable!!  |

Yes, they are. You could also say these:
However, reading has been my favourite skill.
Reading has been my favourite skill, however.
