I got 8 correct out of 9 :) Grammar is difficult but important to read or write sentences. Thank you for your great lesson, Adam :)

Happy04

    I agree with you happy04, it is difficult; but grammar forms the backbone of the language.

    Regino

      Indeed it does Regino. Well said :)

      Adam

      Gee!!! I need to go over the lesson before taking the quiz.

      It was an execellent video Adam, I learned “new” grammar terms and patterns to talk about the sentence; a bit complicated, but digestible.

      Thanks again for sharing this with us Mr.____.

      P.S. By the way Adam, what is your last name? Hope you do not mind.

      Regards

      Regino

Good to see you again Adam lol, Nice lesson I appreciate it.

TheTVC

Thx Adam, that’s a very important lesson. Deeply appreciate .

Shae

Hi, I got 7 correct out of 9. I was difficult for me.

Thanks.

cesarvelizdgo

Thanks, Adam.
There’s a question I want to know:
find the answer on/in the book, which one is correct?
If you can help, I’d appreciate that. :)

Sophie

    Hi Sophie,

    It’s “in” the book. The book is like a container; it holds words and ideas inside. That’s why it’s in the book.

    Unless you left you letter on the book, in which case it is physically on top of it.

    Adam

      thanks for explain mr.adam

      Hussein al-jondy

      Mr. Adam,
      I’m still confused to make a distinction between dependent and independent clause.

      No.2
      What is the function of ‘to celebrate her promotion’ in the following sentence?
      Belinda invited her friends to her house for lunch to celebrate her promotion.

      The answer is
      “verb of a dependent clause”

      Means “Belinda invited her friends” is a dependent clause. why not Independent clause?

      Thanks :)

      rituelidaeli

        The answer to the question number 2 is
        complement to “invited”
        that clauses complements the verb of the sentence

        alexvu2010

thanks teacher Adem.

Rebecca Amal

I feel the lesson is verey difficalt.

Rebecca Amal

    yes that s right i fail in quiz lol

    hassan.stephan

    Hi Rebecca,

    It is difficult, but if you watch a few times and understand it, it will make all of English much easier in the long run.

    Adam

    yes it is difficult lesson but it’s very informative

    sagazar649

Thank you very much! I’d like to know if you can tajik dish. My favourite food is OSH.

Rahmonali

    Hi Rahmonali,

    I’ve never tried it, but I would love to. If have a chance to, I’ll let you know.:)

    Adam

      Hey Adam. what is difference between complements and adverbials?? I’m so confused about this

      farshidzarghamy

Gee!!! I need to go over the lesson before taking the quiz.

It was an execellent video Adam, I learned “new” grammar terms and patterns to talk about the sentence; a bit complicated, but digestible.

Thanks again for sharing this with us Mr.____.

P.S. By the way Adam, what is your last name? Hope you do not mind.

Regino

    Benn :)

    Adam

this is the first time i got 6 correct out of 9, what a difficult lesson! But i felt fun because it really useful for me. Thanks, Adam :D

huynhkimvu

Quiz nine cannot be true. First sentence is true, however the second one is absolutely false. The sentence size does not depends on the author, but on the fact or idea is decribed by him. So, the Quiz nine is logically false.

BRITZEN

    Hi Britzen,

    I think you might have misunderstood. A sentence can have many complement; this does not say anything about the length of the sentence. A sentence can be one line but have three or four complements:
    e.g.: The boy ate the delicious ice cream fast because it was hot outside and he was hungry and excited.
    The independent clause is “the boy ate.” everything else is complements.

    Does this help?

    Adam

I got 5 correct out of 9.
:(
It’s really difficult topic.

Darina Sherley

    Don’t worry Darina, it is a difficult topic. What we need is a bit more practice, that’s all.

    Regards.

    Regino

Excuse me Mr Adam, but I think the first question sentence we have a dependent clause ‘Jacqueline thought’ since the sentence is logically incomplete in meaning, thus the verb ‘thought’ should function as a verb of the dependent clause but NOT of an independent, do you agree to the point?

omaxios

    Hi Omaxios,

    Jacqueline though…what? (that) she would win….

    The independent clause is Jacqueline though. I don’t need to answer what she though, but if I want to, then I have a noun clause as object to the verb thought.

    thought can be either transitive or intransitive, meaning it can take an object or not.

    Regardless, the verb of the dependent clause is “would win”

    Does this help?

    Adam

      Adam,

      A great lesson and a meaningful set of quiz questions.

      Please consider correcting the word ‘though’ at two places in your reply to Omaxios to ‘thought’, so that readers grasp the correct sense of your reply.

      Regards, Ravi

      manravi

I got 8 correct out of 9 :))))) I am really happy with this result .

Mai Farouk Ali

I got 9 of 9. Quite difficult lesson. I remember sentence pattern SVOMPT (Subject, Verb, Object, Manner, Place, Time)

emo53

    Hi Emo,

    You’re right. What you describe is essentially the SVO and SVA that I described, just divided into elements.

    Adam

Perfect explanation. Thanks a lot dear Adam.
I got 9 out of 9. I like this grammar.
Would you please prepare a video about different kinds of clauses and phrases?
Thank you so very much.

thanks Adam, it was a helpful lesson

moath saad

Hey Adam, congratulations.
You have a clear voice for to teach English, I can listening you perfectly.
I’m in Ottawa since last week, but I could to perceive that on “real life” people say every words together, then it is very hard to understand.

So, I have a suggestion to you and EngVid. Why you don’t record a movie with a list of common phases in 3 speeds (normal, slowly and “real life”)? Take a look in this example made by a Brazilian guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH8zrnbYcE8

Thank you very much for your movies! EngVid are the best.

rubens21

    I forgot to say… that guy did a good job, but he obviously have Brazilian accent.

    rubens21

      right

      moath saad

        Sorry, actually I was replying another comment that I did but that didn’t be approved yet.
        It is other “guy”

        rubens21

    That’s a really good idea! I’ll add it to our list of future lessons :)

    engVid Moderator

      Yes, sure! I watched all of your movies.
      But, for me, listening is harder than talk, so I can try to speak like a native, but can’t understand the natives.

      Actually I need to correct my comment about that movie! The guy is from Ireland! He isn’t Brazilian! I thought that he were Brazilian because the speak Portuguese very well (I’m Brazilian! I know, I know… I’m crazy!).

      Thanks Dam, thanks EngVid Team!

      rubens21

A great way to learn. Thank you.

gerardoebrando

the quiz is fun. Looks like I have to revise my grammar

I’m the worst learner, only got 4 out of 9, I blamed myself for not intelligent enough to understand the grammar. Thank you.

danny14

I got 6 :( but i promise i will practice everyday :)

Prathana

Here in Ukraine our grammarians distinguish between parts of speech and parts of the sentence, and that’s why the core of the sentence is called “subject-predicate group”, but not verb.

kskotenko

    Yep! and what is the independent clause in your intricate sentence??? :-)

    Bahur

      It’s there Bahur :)

      Adam

      I like your avatar, it’s very nice)

      kskotenko

    Hi Ksuykot,

    Firstly, I’m glad that you know grammarians exist ;)

    Also, you’re right. However, I have found over the years that the idea of a predicate confuses students more than it helps them understand how a sentence works. That’s why I stay away from it and simplify it to what I presented. Once a student gets to a high enough level, and shows actual interest in grammar, then I can get into more complex ideas.

    Adam

      Indeed, you are right) I try to teach my boyfriend English now, and I know how it is difficult sometimes… I appreciate your help. Thank you.

      kskotenko

Hi Adam, it is a amaizing one to improve level and keep me chalenged! Many thanks your time!

Jorge Pedroso

whats means of indeed

Alan@1982

    Hi Alan,

    Indeed basically means “in fact”. Most people use it the same as “yes” to confirm something, or to emphasize something already said.

    Does this help?

    Adam

thank you very much Adam.

    Adam

I have 2 question
1)what’s the diffrency between synonym and activator of a word?
2)if the pulural of tooth is teeth,why isnt the pulral of booth beeth?one goose 2geese So one moose 2meese?
thanks in advance.
by the way.
this is mehdi from Iran:)

123456mehdi

    Ah, Mehdi. You ask the difficult questions :)

    1) a synonym is a word that has a similar meaning or function as another word. I’m not sure what an activator of a word is. t might be a learning tool to help you learn vocab.

    2) Because English is a crazy language lol.
    why do we drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway?
    Why does a ship carry cargo, and trucks ship parcels?
    Why do our noses run, and our feet smell?

    That’s English. (sorry I can’t actually give you a better answer) :)

Adam

    Dear Sir,

    Greetings,

    As you mentioned in your video about “who“and “whom.”

    Can you explain me the differences between “Whom” and “Who?”

    Followings are the examples I am face:

    1. Our request was to have the assessment of the four contractors “whom” we have shortlisted based on the advise.

    Can I use “who” instead of “whom” in above sentence?

    2. As informed by Mr. Adam that with the changed sitting layout there will be reduction in no. of persons “who” would be accommodated in the new building.

    Shall I use “whom” In lieu of “who” in this last one?

    I am really anxious to hear the same from you.

    Thanking you.

    vishal1234

Thanks a lot for the substantial grammar class, Adam. May I ask whether any difference between these terms “subject complement” and “compound nominal predicate”? ex. I’m Russian.

Serginho18

just 5 correct
sad

pappoe30

Hi Adam!
I was wondering if I could download the video to share it with other students in my class.
The thing is that I am from a different country where watching videos on the internet is pretty expensive due to a very high cost of internet traffic. Even though EngVid lessons are free, they are not available to certain groups of students who are willing to study and eager to watch such video lessons as you guys are making here.
Thank you!

Even if the lesson was extremely complicated, your explanation was so successful that I got the score 8 out of 9. I am sure, without your explanation, I would have 2 out of 9. However, this lesson requires revising from time to time, not to forget the essential of English grammar in use. Well done!

Is it correct to call a sentence clause?

Khaledz76

Is it correct to call a sentence clause,and vice-versa?

Khaledz76

    A group of words with a noun and a verb is a clause. All sentences are clauses, but not all clauses are sentences. Sentences are independent clauses. Here are some independent clauses/sentences: Birds learn to fly when they are young. Ms. Jones is the principal of our school. Where he lives is none of your business.

    Clauses can be dependent (or subordinate) also. If they are dependent, they are not sentences. “Where he lives” above is a clause, but it depends on the rest of the sentence to make sense. “When they are young” is also a dependent clause. These, like all clauses, have a subject and a verb but are not complete by themselves.

    fantasticsmile

      Well, Fantastic smile you did explain right, but I’d like to add some information–another version. Normally, we’d like to say ‘clauses’ and ‘sentences’ are different so as to avoid making the beginning learners confused. I’d say the easy way to identify a clause is to look for conjunctions: if, when, why, because, where, which etc.
      So, whenever you see these words in any sentences means those sentences cannot stand alone, meaning that their meanings are not complete. In addition, when we talk about ‘clauses’, we talk about noun clauses, adjective clauses and adverb clauses.
      Consider this sentence: ‘After we had had lunch, we went back to work.’ For this case, we like to explain that ‘after we had had lunch’ is a subordinate clause and we will call ‘we went back to work’ is a main clause or an independent cause. (The given sentence is called a complex sentence.)
      So, when talking about sentences (a sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense, contains a main verb, and begins with a capital letter), we talk about simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences and compound-complex sentences. Hope this will not make you more confused.

    I did the same and the outcomes were catastrophic. We should’ve watched the video first, no doubt about it.

    But DO NOT worry, as Addam put it, this is the first step towards success.

    All the best.

    Regino

    That wasn’t bad for someone who didn’t watched the lesson. :3 That means you know a lot about the sentence already.

Thank you for such an informative lecture. Truly, this material about sentences in English is seldom explained even at the linguistic schools. That’s very sad ’cause this information is essential for systematic and full understanding of the language.

Thanks T. Adam. The lesson made me see the areas I need to improve with my writing compositions. :)

Not good, 56 % , need more study. Sorry.

alpido24

I know that what I’m about to say has nothing to do with this lesson, which by the way was extremely clarifying and helpful, but have you ever cooked ’empanadas’? If you haven’t, definitely you should give them a try!

Hugs from Buenos Aires!

Croquicroqui

    I, for one, love empanadas! There’re many restaurants here that serve them.

Please , Adam , check this sentence : There are two boys in the pictures – ” There is two boys ” is Subject ?

Asylkhan

You are a one of the best teacher I met.

yytyyt

The video was just awesome loved it from the beginning to the very end, but i do have a question and it is as follows:
she gave a letter to Mary
she gave Mary a letter
there is a difference in the structure of the sentence;although there is no change in meaning.
In the first we can say Mary is an indirect object but in second it’s a complement please specify it in videos through subtitles or other means so that users don’t get confused.

saikat1

I AM SORRY FOR THE SPECIFYING THAT IN THE FIRST MARY IS AN INDIRECT OBJECT. WHAT I MEANT WAS THAT IN THE FIRST WE CAN SAY MARY IS A COMPLEMENT AND AN INDIRECT OBJECT IN SECOND.

saikat1

    THAT’S OKAY, JUST TURN OFF CAPS LOCK

    engVid Moderator

    well, many thanks Adam for this fruitful lesson, I do really appreciate it.
    Saikat, remember that the verb give is ditransitive verb, that is to say, it can take two objects: direct and indirect
    objects

    Layane13

First, thanks very much for the video. It’s great to have this kind of lesson. Well, this lesson is not recommended for the beginner because you might be discouraged to learn English, but it is very important to learn so that you would be able to identify parts of the sentence. Frankly, to be able to be good at speaking, writing or reading, we cannot avoid studying the sentence structure, otherwise our English will be a broken English. Studying this lesson will make us avoid producing a fragment sentence or comma splice. In addition, related to this lesson, the learner should learn more about types of the sentences: simple, compound, complex and compound-complex sentences. These will really help improve the learner’s writing skills, for types of conjunctions, which are the key words to create different sentences, will be explored.

metchawin

well, many thanks Adam for this fruitful lesson, I do really appreciate it

AntonZharinov

Hi Mr Adam,
It is a very informative lesson.
could you please suggest ways for coherence problems in writing essays,,

kind regards,

Newlight

Dear Adam,

Thanks a lot for your efforts. It is a great thing that when people could learn a foreign language even without charge.

The question I would to as is that:

I)When a clause with SVsC or SVC(A) pattern, is the verb (in your example which is “be” and “go”) automatically turns to intransitive?

PS. 1)I _am_ Canadian
2)I _went_ to book story.

“Am” and “went” intransitive verbs?

I.b.) If they are, then does a clause with intransitive verb cannot be converted to passive voice?

EG. Birds fly to the skies. (SVC(A))

can I say : Birds were flied to the skies.

II) In your SVsC example,

I am Canadian.

Does it requires a article “a”?

Or both are acceptable?

If “I am Canadian.”, The “Canadian” is a adj.

If “I am a Canadian.”The “Canadian” is a noun.

Just for your amusement- When reviewing the sentences at the end of the lesson…every time you said ” because we have a B -verb.” I heard “because we have a beaver.” Tee hee hee…I love canada.

Hani @123

Good Morning Adam, it is a great job and very helpful. I really appreciate you. I haven’t quite understood the question no 3. A subject complement is similar to an object, except that it completes the meaning of the subject rather than the verb. I would like to get more detailed explanation , thank you very much indeed.

mike1

eva.caamic

    Hi eva, It is better to watch it again and try to understand it. Getting 6 correct answers out of 9 may be luck, since the answer is select among four.. In my opinion when we get 8 out of 9 I feel we understood properly, but small mistake has done.

    p.santhosh13

Hello Mr. Adam

You are right, teachers don’t teach this subject in school, that’s why it’s quite difficult to understand, because I never get this lesson before. Anyway, I got 7 out of 9, thank you very much for this precious lesson.
Looking forward to your other lesson :D

Hello Adam:) Please give me explanation about “to infinitive” and “gerund”. From this sentence “Wanting to be a good neighbor, Heather baked a pie for the family that had just moved in next door.” Can I use “To want to be a good…”? I’m looking forward to your reply. Thanks a lot!

Tassaporn

Unfortunately, my score not good as I need, but in general all lessons of yours Mr Adam are very useful and I get a benefit from those.
But my question is it important to keep in mind all those details in this video “to make sentence with full meaning”?

thx mr adam

saman saman saman

What a gold-mine this site is.

I’ve got one question. Why do you say at 5:14:
“you will never see an indirect object without a direct object in a sentence as well?”
I thought that if I say “I am talking to him”, “to him” was an indirect object without a direct object.
Could you explain?
Thanks

matinyoupi

thanks :)

Mhay09

Hi Adam. Thank you for such interesting lesson. But I have problem with sentence #4. I quote:
“What you do with your own free time is up to you.”

But why not: What do you do with your own free time…

If we say: What do you do? and it’s sentence is complete, why we don’t use “DO” right after question word?

Great thank for you attention.

AlexaR

Hello Adam, thank you for this lesson. I learned loads today:)

When using a series of adverbial phrases in a sentence, should I follow a standard pattern?

Your example was, “I went to the store to buy bread for breakfast this morning.”

If I wrote it as, “I went to the store this morning to buy bread for breakfast”, would this be considered incorrect?

Your response would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance:)

Grace003

8. Wanting to be a good neighbor, Heather baked a pie for the family that had just moved in next door.
In the above sentence, what is the independent clause?
-Wanting to be a good neighbor
-Heather baked a pie
-that had just moved in next door

could you explain it to me please?

merve

hi Adam,
I have got a question about clause, the adverbial. I found this a few days earlier and would like to know is it correct or not:
After working late into the night, Jack fell asleep on his desk.
It provides additional information about our subject, Jack, but the sentence does not require this information to be grammatically complete.
we learnt, adverbial.cl can only be refer to verb not subject why that example referred adverbial.cl to the subject.
I would appreciate to make it clear.

matt100

Hello, Adam! Thank you for this brilliant lesson.

Could you answer one question please: why is in the sentence “I went to the store to buy bread…” the part “to buy” isn’t a part of the predicate “went to buy”? And a noun “bread” in this case is an object. Because as you said, a verb “went” cannot function itself.

Hi Adam i have a question,
(go is a verb.)
in this sentence above , what is the position of (go), it is a verb or a noun or what ?
please , i want an answer.

fatima bb

Got 8 out of 9
Don’t get the sub-verb pairing!!

Zynab 88

Hello Adam,
I have some questions. Can complements be broken down any further? In one of my TOEFL books it says the phrase “on the table” in the sentence “The notebook which is on the table has four sections.” is the combination of a preposition (on) and an object of the preposition (table), but I took the whole phrase as a complement. So, which one should be correct?
Aditionally, although I got 9/9 from the quiz above, I’m still uncomfortable with something. In the sentence “What you do with your own time is up to you.”, I found the noun clause(the subject) and the verb(is) but I couldn’t understand what that “up to you” part was. I thought “up to” was a preposition and “you” was a direct object but should I count that as a complement too?
It would be very nice if you could enlighten me about the abovementioned conflicts. By the way, you’ve prepared an amazing video, I’m so glad to get to learn grammar from you.
Thank You!

ilginanac

I got 9 out 10. Thank you for the good lesson.

I want to ask abou ‘Belinda’ ‘s sentence. Its patterns
S V D.O Adverbial ?

Rimou23

Hello, Adam,

I am an enthusiastic follower of your lessons and, besides some of your peers are doing a good work too, I love very much the clarity of your explanations.

I must say, though, that I partially disagree with you (what a nerve of me to talk to you this way!) about the analysis of the penultimate sentence: “What Sharon forget to mention was that her husband was the CEO of Microsoft”. I think that, despite the presence of the BE verb, this one is an S V O clause, and I will explain the reason why I think so.

When I was a kid, my teachers give me that piece of advice: “When the structure seems a bit cryptic, try to simplify it, preserving carefully the main idea”. My version of the sentence then could be as follows: “Sharon don’t inform (you/us) about her husband position”. Put it that way, the subordinate clause “her husband was the CEO of Microsoft” could be seen as the direct object of a “negative action”. In my opinion, the form the original sentence adopts is only for literary purposes.

What do you think about?

Yours sincerely,

Toni Rodríguez

arsabanes

Hi everyone ,
is there a way to know the order of the lessons , or it is something engvid should make clear.

Hi Adan, thanks by the video, and I have some questions about direct and indirect object.
If I say ‘I paid you’ the meaning is that I used you as coin, or my payment destination was for you? What is the difference to say I paid you. I paid the bill to you? Thanks.

UditJariwala

“That her husband is the CEO of Microsoft and makes a lot of money”
My question is:
1. Can that noun clause explain the subject which is also the noun clause? (dont you think it should be an adjective clause (not the noun clause) that explains a noun/noun clause?
2. That noun clause has a conjuction “and”, are they not a compound sentence?
Many thanks for the answer.

shuai1

Hi, Adam.
I can’t help but say it’s an excellent job you’re doing. I haven’t looked through all the comments ( it might be that the question I have has already been asked), but I’ll fire it up anyway)))
In this particular video you’ ve been stating that an indirect object never occurs without a direct object. So, is this the rule or more like a recommendation?
Because you do have sentences like: I surrender to you
I understand it depends mostly on the verb itself, but is it ok to say to the students not to use one kind of object without the other?
Thanks

I have a question. Carl reads for pleasure. The question you said is <>? In this case it becomes SVO indirect object, but if we ask why, it becomes SVA(C) . So how to decide how to give a question and what is correct. Thank you.

Sorry, and also what is a be verb, first it is am, then it is exactly <>, so it confused me. Thank you.

I really like Adam’s explanation of the sentence grammar. He explains somewhat differently than I learned from school. I learned again the sentence today and now I have more confidence.

I got 7 out of 9. I have to practice more. I appreciate the way you explained it. Understood very much easier than my teacher in grade school.

Hi Adam
Could you help me with a question?
Number 9 says: “A sentence can have no complements, or it can have many complements. It depends on the writer.”
Actually, have or not a complement, wouldn’t depends on the verb (transitive or intransitive)?

Hi Adam Sir!

I’m glad to find this website through YouTube channel. This lesson is bit tough to get in although I got 6 out 9. Seems I need to watch the video more 3 times until I get better understanding.

Thanks for the class.

I’ve got 6 out 9 and majority of them are intense and it makes me wanted to cry while answering them but still I survive the test. Thanks to teacher Adam and to all Engvid teacher who keep on teaching people who wanted to learn all the dimension of English.

Hi, Adam! Thank you for the lesson. It was a difficult theme for me. For a long time, I tried to find clear answers about transitive verbs, subjects, independent clauses, etc. You showed an easy way to crack the nut. Thank you again!

RomanKovalev

Thanks Adam!It was a great lesson although I got 7/9.

The more complicated it gets, the easier it is to understand its simplicity!

Extraordinary class, Adam; and a great test. Thanks a lot and congrats!

EngVid is my favorite page on Youtube to learn English and the quizzes from the website are really useful to practice it. Thank you, everyone! Especially Adam! I’ve just got 9 out of 9!!

Hey, Adam!
Is the ber to be the only one that can be used in a S-V-sC sentence? For example, isn’t it also the case of “You look nice!”?

Pedro Lima

    Correction:
    Is the verb “to be” the only one that can be used in a S-V-sC sentence? For example, isn’t it also the case of “You look nice!”, or maybe linking verbs in general?

    Pedro Lima

6 out of 9, I guess I’m just really terrible…

Alexcarol

ecolmena

Hi Adam.

May I ask a question about the following sentence please?

“Even with the weather being that nasty, the couple and their families decided to go ahead with the wedding.”

I am confused as to why the first part “Even with the weather being that nasty,” is regarded as a phrase rather than a non-finite dependent clause.

What determines whether or not a group of words containing a present participle qualifies as a participle clause.

Many thanks for any help.

Omg! I got 9/9, but I need more practice because I cannot write sentences independently, although my comprehension is good enough. what do you recommend Adam?

Teacher, I hope you can read my message, I’m Chinese, and I’m preparing for IELTS, I can’t adapt to the way Chinese teachers teach English, but luckily I met you, I’m really thankful, in order to express my gratitude I bought two books you wrote, a total of 65💲, although I can’t read them now, I hope that when my level improves, I can use your books I hope I can use the contents of your books when I improve. Your grammar lessons are the best I’ve ever had, I listened to them several times and took notes, and I only got one question wrong on the test. I have a question, why not (above from Google Translate)：What do you do with your own free time is up to you.
