In modern times , in India no mechanism to analyse the complex , mixed clauses or compound clauses .. It is surprising if any can not analyse the different dependent clauses how possible to join....... No knowledge in analysing, no know about joining, splitting .. Or vise versa.. Sir pl continue .. Pl understand why I must.. If excess pl forgive me.. You are super.. Fav
Everything has been written about your constructive lesson by the other users , the only that i have to say is : Thank you Sir !! You also make us to practice our mind so that to make more complete sentences EVEN in our mother language !!
Thank you! Yes, we do these things in our own languages without realizing! It's for this reason that I do not consider there to be "unintelligent" people in the world - we have all done an incredible thing by learning our mother tongue!
Participial clause (Impressed by her performance in the Olympics) Object ( that because she ran so fast) Subject ( the newspaper) Verb (wrote) Main clause ( She won a medal) Extra ( the prize for victory) Subordinate adverb clause (although there were many opponents) Adjective clause ( who nearly beat her) Second independent clause (how she runs so fast is a mystery) Complement ( how she runs so fast) This is very r powerful video on sentence analysis. Thank you Rupert
Hello Rupert, You're a true "virtuoso" of the English language! I must admit that I waited with bated breath for each clause. It has been challenging but very, very rewarding. Having read some of the comments, I affirm that a little inaccuracy is not important when so much knowledge is made available to us all. Thank you.
Great. You covered some advanced English grammar parts. Advanced English grammar is difficult for me to understand. So, I learned many things from your class. Thanks a million.
This video is really helpful for me! I love the way you developed the flow of ideas and built them! Please keep going on this content. Thank you very much!
Impressed by the performance (1)is it a participle phrase or nonfinite clause?(2)being Impressed by the performance or,having been Impressed by the performance here can I use in your example?(3)then which participle is it?present, past or past perfect participle?
Hi Sandip! 1) A participle phrase is an example of a non-finite clause (terminology varies around the world for this!) 2) Both could be possible, yes. 3) Some present participles could work depending upon their meaning / the past and present perfect (having) participles both work / we don't use a past perfect participle in this type of phrase :)
Thank you! I agree with you - I covered a lot of things in this video, but each issue could have been covered in far more detail through examples and practice. They will definitely appear again in the future! 😀
You missed: 1. relative clause having an object of prepositions 2.mystery after is not an object of is since it is VI instead,it functions as a subject complement 3.the last clause is that clause acting as a noun complement after a noun , mystery.I might disagree with you on this that I think it acts as an adjective or relative clause modifying a noun , mystery as in: I can't explain a mystery (as an object of verb explain. For the rest,you rock them.
Wow, I am impressed - you have studied the video brilliantly! 1. Well spotted! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. In my more detailed videos, I do sometimes miss minor things, and it is useful to have a comments section where they can be clarified 🙂 2. I must have misspoken somewhere by accident as I 100% agree with you - perhaps I said "object" when I meant to say "noun" (I don't script my videos) - fortunately i don't think it was crucial to the meaning of the point I was making 👍 3. I think I highlighted this at the end of the "that clauses" section, but my apologies if I didn't make it clear enough - again, I agree with you, of course 😀 I'm glad you found everything else useful 👍👍
Thank you! I have been pleased with the response to the video, so I will definitely cover the same issues again in the future, as the video could have been 3 hours long if I'd covered everything with examples and practice 😁
Thank you, sir. Which is correct, please? Impressed by his performance, there is a need to consider promoting him to the first team. Impressed by his performance, we need to consider promoting him to the first team. Impressed by his performance, it is necessary to consider promoting him to the first team.
The key things are to remember "Impressed by his performance" is really a shortened passive, and the subject needs to be the same as in the main clause. The example in the video was "Impressed by his performance, the newspapers wrote that..." It really means this: "The newspapers were impressed by his performance. (Therefore,) The newspapers wrote that...". The implications for your sentences are as follows: 1) "There" would not make a logical subject for "Impressed by his performance" if it were expanded into a passive form. 2) (Normally) the past participle will affect another clause which is in the past tense, so "Impressed by his performance, we needed to consider..." could work here (i.e. "needed" is in the past simple) 3) This is similar to 1) - "it" would not make sense as a subject for the full sentence in the passive (i.e. "It was impressed by his performance"). I hope that's helpful but I'm happy to clarify further :)
Many without following in accuracy.. Tell that have got knowledge.. About clauses Nominal or Adverbial and others. Not so easy.. Pl di not stand limping. Let Sir understand our limitation then he thinks more... If they follow, pl leave the sir and follow him as well are still learners.. Pl
It's all about terminology. Usually, a "clause" means a group of words with a subject and a verb that takes tense. Some split this into finite clause (verb takes tense) vs non finite clause (verb doesn't take tense). Others avoid calling using "clause for combinations of words containing a verb that doesn't take tense, and prefer the term "phrase". I don't mind which people use. The important thing is knowing how to use the verbs correctly :)
Sometimes, I am in confusion which Grammar we follow prescriptive or Descriptive.. Basic know must otherwise cannot follow Dynamic.. Or Descriptive or Sir Rupert's Advanced English..... As we are lucky enough. M
This is a very good point - at an advanced level of English, we need to go further than using good grammar, but we also need to choose the appropriate language for the situation (e.g. descriptive or factual). This coming Friday's video is going to cover just a little of this issue 🙂
When you left out relative pronoun with the verb to be in the adjective clause that was the case of participate phrase (clause) in both active or passive voice, why the prepositional phrase drag you in there ?
Hi! I'm not 100% sure about the point you are making, but it is certainly true that the presence of a prepositional phrase can make the difference between when we omit/do not omit the relative pronoun + to be. However, I'm not entirely sure that this answers your question, so please ask more if you need to 🙂
@@EnglishwithRupert Let take transitional verb "annoy", for example. Put it in your sentence structure in such a way: "There were a lot of opponents annoying her", isn't it allowed?!
Yes, this works. The relative pronoun + to be can often be omitted before a present participle when it is followed by more information - usually a preposition phrase, but also in some other situations such as the one you've mentioned (present participle + object pronoun). It is a messy area of grammar - some people may use omission before any instance of a present participle, for instance, but many would consider it unnatural when the participle is not followed by anything.
If they did not go through Nesfield Grammar, nay have not basic know about clauses, Restricted, Non.. Restricted, Noun clauses, Adverbial clauses... Parenthetical clauses etc.. Pl if they knowledge then app start , we ask questions instead.. Pl
