I always couldn't confine myself to appreciate Indians. Such a pure talent they have especially in education sector. Lots of love from neighbouring country Pakistan.
During the pandemic time I wasn't able to understand grammar much in the online classes but your videos have helped me a lot to go through the topics thoroughly. Thanks a lot ma'am 😊😊😊😊
I love you mam your teaching is awesome ❤️ and from your channel I want all subjects ❤️mam you maked me English easy and in a simple way I am 8th class from sacred heart convent 🏫
People believed that what went up, always came down. Mam, plz explain this sentence. There's two subordinate conjunctions one is working as conjunction and the other one as subject. Is this sentence okay or there should not be used That ?
First ask how many verbs? believed, went, came . So 3 clauses. Let us split the 3 ideas. 1. People believed (something) 2. Something went up 3. It always came down. People believed (something) main clause believed what? That a thing (what) (that went up) always came down - noun clause which thing? that went up - adjectival clause modifying the 'thing' or in other words the pronoun 'what' in the sentence standing in place of 'thing'. - This is an embedded adjectival clause. Quite complicated.
I have liked every comment! She is so amazing teacher and I understood this chapter just because of her . Thanks for helping in exams .You are perfect!
Thank you so much ma'am. I simply can't explain how much you helped me. Today was my English lecture and due to sickness I wasn't able to attend it. I am so grateful for your time preciseness you gave. Your teaching method is simply ineffable. Wish I was able to meet such a great mentor.🌸
It is a tough topic; however, you explained it well! I will need to solve a lot of practice questions to develop confidence in my knowledge of it. Ah! I ended up using one conjunctive adverb and two infinitive phrases in my comment!
What she said is none of my business. So here Ma'am, we can see that "what she said". But "is none of my business" does not seem to be a main clause. So does this sentence include no main clause? And the lecture is nice as always.👌👍
@@rajasparekh455 yes. It (impersonal pronoun) This (demonstrative pronoun) are implied. The noun clause (what she said) replaces the pronoun. The pronoun 'It' could be replaced by a noun like "gossip" or a noun phrase like 'Other people's affairs' is none of my business.
(The girl) who is wearing a pink dress (is my sister) Here 'who is wearing a pink dress' is not complete. It is not the same as: Who's wearing a pink dress? Here it is a question.
The noun clause has never been so clear to me before attending this lecture. It is to the point and clears all the doubts and confusion . Moreover the tips given during the lecture are easy to remember and to the point. Her teaching method is marvelous. Use of What? , Something, Someone helps to identify the noun-clause from the adverb clause.
Sentence -- > The team that you used to play for has done well this year, even though they didn't win all their game. IC : - The team has done well this year DC1 : Adjective Clause : that you used to play for DC2 : even though they didn't win all their game I can't understand clause type and role of DC2. Is it a adverb clause modifying verb = well ?
Ma’am, could you please help me with this sentence. I am unsure if he’s coming. In the above sentence what clause is ‘if he’s coming’? Is it a Noun Clause? If yes, how?
Greetings...mam please correct me if I'm wrong....The indus that originates from the mountains irrigates a vast land...mam here that originates from the mountains is an adjective clause..Am I right?
Hello ma'am, it's a request that make videos that how to use clause , phrases, gerund, infinitive, participle, simple, compound and complex sentences in writing specially precise writing.
First pick out the verbs. wants and should go. So we have 2 clauses. Main clause? (Someone) should go to the kitchen. Who should go? Someone (blank subject). Someone = whoever wants the cake. Therefore, the question is who?
Excellent. You certainly will. I am doing a 4 week Poetry course if you are interested starting 24 April if you are interested. details on www.mindsprings.in
Yes, a noun clause in a complex sentence is always subordinate or dependent. An independent clause is a "noun clause" in a simple sentence. But we do not name the clauses in a simple sentence, do we? All simple sentences are made of noun clauses as they are all about a subject stated or implied. If there are two clauses in a sentence and the subordinate or dependent clause is a noun clause, then that sentence will have two noun clauses.
What a learner need to learn at first is absolutely clauses but not other stuff. How I can say is it is natural so that learn what noun clauses are and how they work and why we use them and where you can read and listen them frequently, That's when you are as fluent as you wish to be😅
Underline the verbs first. Ask questions. To noun ask which? To verb ask the rest. You must get a direct answer. That is your clause. Do it. I will correct you.
Mam, How can we categorize noun clause that whether it act as subject,direct objects,indirect objects,, compliments, object of a preposition, approsition.
By looking at the position of the noun vis a vis the verb - subject of object. directly or indirectly , or if the object harks back to the subject (is about the same thing -complement) sitting in apposition (repeated) or after a preposition as its object.
He finds the idea that the earth is round very hard to believe for he thinks that the earth cannot be round. Mam I have a doubt in this sentence. The question is to identify the noun clause. Is 'the idea that the earth is round' a noun clause?' That the earth cannot be round' is a noun clause for it answers the question what? But how does the other one answer the question what?
1. Pick out all the verbs. 2. Find the main clause - should be independent in full meaning. 3. Ask the verbs the question what? You should get your clause as the direct answer for noun clause. 4. The nouns should be ask the question which? This will give you the subordinate adjectival clause 5. You can also ask the verb the adverbial questions to get the subordinate adverbial clause. See what gives you the answers.
Mam, correct me if I am wrong please. I thought I heard in one of your video that gerunds, participle and infinitive are infinite verbs. Then, modal verbs are non finite verbs. Then again, why is "shining table" an adjective and grounds are called
My other question is, I am confuse as to why " the ornate shinning table is a noun phrase and not an Adjectival phrase when it answers the question "which table? " or is it that even if it describes the noun " table" as long as there is no prepositonal phrase in there, it is a noun? I.e the sole difference between an adjectival phrase from a noun phrase is preopsitional phrase, yeah?
You must look at my verbs video too. infinitives to + base verb, gerunds and participles are non-finite. They cannot be conjugated. They function either as nouns or adjectives. Modals also cannot be conjugated but they definitely function as verbs. They are called not finites to separate them from the non-finites. Shining table describes the table doesn't it? So... it has to be an adjective.
Mam I have one doubt.... In my book noun clause rules is "Tense of the noun clause should be in the past if the verb of the main clause is in the past". The tense of the universal truth does not change But..." why he came is difficult to understand". They mentioned This sentence has no error.... In the sentence "he came" is past tense "It is difficult to understand" is present continuous tense.... Can you explain me please......
Well by your example I can also say Why he came was difficult to understand. Here I would be reporting 2 actions in the past to someone. Universal truths is always in the present. When it is summer the weather turns hot. It is difficult to understand - is simple present. It is not present continuous as you have written.
Ma'am how do I know whether the noun clauses are objects or subjects to the verb? It's an exercise in my book and I am still a bit confused. Please help 🙁
If u can replace the underlined word with word "it" and if you can make a meaningful sentence without or removing underlined word it will be noun clause simply
I HAVE FOUND GOLD!!!!!EXCELLENT! I just have a doubt, in the sentence," that he would sell..." is it correct if I use a (,) after that? Like That, he would sell...If its true I can, are there any rules for that? Thanks in advance!
Madam Kindly shed some light on how to distinguish between the functions of Noun clause as a complement to the verb and as an apposition to noun.... Rest, asking a question I agree with it...
Compliment to a verb :- My mother suggested THAT I SHOULD CONSULT A DICTOR. ( the Noun clause here complements the verb " Suggested) In apposition to Noun or a Pronoun :- It is a miracle THAT HE IS WELL. ( What is the miracle = it) ans is the pronoun Remember the saying THAT PRIDE HATH A FALL. ( Here the clause complements the noun Saying ( Gerund)
An independent sentence must have one subject and one predicate. Here 'am reading and writing' is the predicate of the subject I. Hence simple. If it had been I am reading and I am writing, then it would be a compound sentence.
I am a bit confused Whatever he was doing with his broken watch is not my problem. Is it possible to use past continuous and present simple at once? He was trying to fix his broken watch that can't be fixed for a few days, and now it is not my problem. Hope it helps
No. You sentence is long-winding. You have changed the meaning too. There is a shrug, an indifference, an attitude in the original sentence. Your one says now it is not my problem, which means before this it was? (that can't be fixed for a few days) is just unnecessary extra information. (broken means can't be fixed) for a few days is your extra. So no, stick to the original.
@@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher What kind of meaning I have changed? I was trying to explain what I mean to show what he was doing with his broken watch in the past, but now he doesn't wear it anymore. I was trying to say it is not my problem at the present that shows what he was doing in the past. Sorry for the long sentences I have written.
