If I have time this weekend, I will go to the beach and look at a beautiful view of the sea. One of the reasons why I’m learning English is to read books about neuroscience in English because the translated versions of foreign books about it are rarely published. I would be appreciate it if you could check and correct my English. Thank you so much for making a helpful video as always. I look forward to watching the next video of this series.
Neuroscience? Wow, that's a tough but fascinating subject. You bring up a good point. Learning English is really helpful for gaining knowledge because there is such a wealth of information in English. Of course there is a lot of information in other languages, too, but there is more in English because of the publishing, media, research, etc. that is conducted in English. I'll be happy to answer your questions and correct you, but your English appears excellent, and any errors seem to be very minor. Your DC, IC sentence is correct. I would probably use a different verb than "look at" in this case because "look at" implies a short action. I would probably use "see" or "take in," which implies a longer action. Take in means that you enjoy it slowly. Also, in your last sentence, you wrote "I would be appreciate it..." but "appreciate" is the verb, so take out "be."
Thanks a lot for this series, Jenna! In the past I used to hate grammar (both in English and Portuguese), but today I know it is essencial for a clean communication. Looking foward to the next videos! Stay safe and congrets for the channel!
Hi Uiliam! I agree that grammar is necessary. I have had many conversations with English learners who did not have a strong basis in grammar and often had difficulty understanding what they wanted to say. I would find myself asking myself things like "Is she talking about what happened in the past or present?" And grammar is absolutely essential for writing, especially if you need to use writing in courses or work. Thanks for the comment and take care! 😊
Jenna! I just want you to know that every day I learn from you! 3:42am & today it's clauses! PS: If you see that I'm making mistakes, as I comment, could you correct me!?!?!? Have a great day! I appreciate you and what you are doing to help people, such as my self. (Am I suppose to put a comma before "such" &, if so, WHY? These are the things I struggle with in my writing). Back to my learning! lol
So glad you find the videos helpful! "Such as" can go with a comma or without. Here's the difference: Household pets, such as dogs and cats, need to be trained. Here the comma shows that what comes after is just an example. It's not necessary to understand the sentence. Animals such as dogs and cats need to be trained. Here the comma is not used. The example "dogs and cats" is restrictive, meaning that it limits or restricts the noun. We're not talking about ALL animals. We're talking only about animals like dogs and cats. Don't worry about that rule! Most people don't know the difference between these, and using a comma before "such as" is the most common way. :)
I have short (30-60 second) videos on TikTok, and I just started posting them on this channel. Most of my videos are longer, but I have many grammar videos that are pretty short, like 3-6 minutes: ru-vid.com/group/PLTaPDxv5nudnbMc7WK5e6Hz1EQrz49Yvd
How did u get that ,I was about to ask you this grammar for making a video on it , it was really informative video even I sent it to my English teacher , I believe they watched , but form me I liked it . #AwesomeTeacher
I'm learning English because my english writhing is poor and I would like to better or improve this gradually til I reach a satisfactory standard of basic English essay writhing
Independent clauses I do it daily . I go and earn money there . Me and my friend Jason both love being honest . Me and my friend Jason both love watching TV and playing cricket . Dependent clauses I did my job after completing my project . I went before she came . If I had seen it , I would be happy today . Are these good mam
Yes, they are correct examples of independent and dependent clauses. However, according to the grammar rules, you cannot use me and my friend for the subject. You need to say my friend and I for the subject of the sentence.
Good morning mam. If we remove the coordinating conjunction from the dependent clause then it makes sense and can stand alone. Thanks and Regards Raja Aurangzeb from Lahore Pakistan. Stay happy
@@LearnAcademicEnglish Good morning mam. Please explain the following sentences. I never remember to have said so. I remember never to have said so. Which one is correct? And explain please? Thanks and Regards Raja Aurangzeb from Lahore Pakistan. Have a nice day.
Teacher hurry with the next video lol. I will promote your RU-vid channel on every platform. You also explain very soothing and easy to understand. You always Go straight to the point . No bulls@hit and confusing things like other Chanel’s . I stopped watching all the English RU-vid lessons I used to watch and now I am looking for good resources like your Chanel.
So glad you found it helpful! I am hoping to publish the next video tonight or tomorrow and to make the videos in this series quickly since there will be several videos. I try to go straight to the point because I know people's time is valuable, and I have been teaching for many years, so I usually have an idea what information is necessary to learn the rules. I hope you find the next videos helpful, too. Thanks! 😁
