I heard a Canadian Member of Parliament saying this sentence in his speech. He wasn't given India's visa. So, he was expressing his concern.

I use these phrasal verbs interchangeably. I don't know which one is correct.

Which phrase did they use?

Did they really use no articles in even Member of Parliament didn't get seat in first row?
 
None of those are good. Use "never mind."

"Even the Member of the Parliament didn't get seat in the first row."

That's wrong.



Explain what? SoothingDave was telling you what to say in place of the bold phrase. There's nothing to explain.

What's wrong with post #8?

In your original examples, all three articles were missing.
In post #8, the indefinite article was missing before "seat".
The article before "Parliament" should not be there at all.

I just Googled "Does Punjabi use articles?" and discovered that no definite or indefinite articles exist in your language. You need to spend a lot of time studying this area - articles are incredibly important in English.

Yes, that is the case. No such articles exist in the Punjabi language.
 
So

I got confused because I've only used "never mind" when we urge someone not to worry.

I've never used "never mind" for this situation. This is entirely surprising for me.
 
Can we attach a video file on this platform?

Yes. Click on the icon in the toolbar to the right of the emoji (smiley face). It looks like a photo of some mountains laid over a piece of celluloid film. I don't know if there's a size limit. Make sure you're not breaking any copyright laws by posting a video.

I have found the video of the Canadian parliament. Listen to the video. At the end he uses "let alone". Is he correct?
 
"Let alone" is used in BrE too.

I'm not going to the wedding reception, let alone the actual wedding!

So, can I use "let alone" in post #1 instead of bold text?
