Thank you Adam.It’s a bit difficult for me, but it will help me when reading a English’newspaper.

beernaard

This lesson was extremely difficult.
Therefore, I´ll see it again tomorrow ;)

knopfler86

I tried,but this lesson is a little bit difficult for me. But I’ll try again. Thankyou

micol73

İ think in this structure the important point is to be able diferentiate between the those words

Yusufbaran

Tks a lot for that lesson. It isn’t an easy task. I’ve tried to do the quiz and my score was not good. I used to use that sentence a lot when I was an auditor, (kind of pattern). However I used it at the end of the sentence. “these financial statements encompass a series of actions relating to management, existence, evaluation and accuracy of assets and liabilities, as well as the presentation thereof. Can I use the rest of the transations at the end as well?

Juju9

    Hi Juju,

    Yes, if they imply the same message, then yes. Your example works well.

    Adam

MR ADAM would you please repeat this lesson with an easy vocabulary and clear-cut examples as the transitions are almost similar which make things more difficult, waiting for a good response from your side

Zaki46

    Hi Zaki,

    To be honest, if you are using simpler vocab, you can find other ways, more simple ways, to say these things as well. This is part of more advanced writing skills. Writing needs to have a uniform style, so if you use simple words and then connect them with these transitions, then it might not seem natural.

    Hope this helps.

    Adam

Thank you very much!! I was confused about them, I met them in books frequently, and it is very pleasant you are paying attention to the comments and requests for new videos.

GregoryPol

you gave a comprehensive lecture thereby able to improve my writing.
EngVid is a resourceful website, therefore, i love to visit it everyday.

Defender404

Thank you Adam. It is very useful lesson.

MilicaParic

Thank you, Adam! I love this lesson. It is a pity that we can not use this website in China. It is like a treasure chest for English speakers.
Furthermore, I do want to know how to use a sentence with”; “.

yuxiaoyang

    Hi Yuxiayang,

    You can try to use a VPN in China, but the government there doesn’t allow YouTube, so not much else to be done. Hope you can keep watching :)

    Adam

This is a really difficult lesson but it is very important to me. That is because I see those words many times when reading some international contracts in the company. I will watch this video many times, I hope. Thanks Adam.

John B

Thanks a lot, Adam! A very useful lesson as usual.
I have been watching many of your videos and as we say in Russia “You are a teacher from God”!

KATRIN777

Alex-1956

hi adam special tnx and congrats to you for your fantastic videos.pls make a video and describe the words when got under at the begining.how does that change the definition.like :underlye,underachievment,undergo

DR.RICHI

    Good idea, Dr. Richi. I’ll see what I can do.

    Adam

I really like your videos! Thank you.

LucianneBrasil

Thank you very much Adam, as an internal Lawyer, it is very useful to learn how to master these transitions, even more, I see many of these transitions used in the legal writing and commercial agreements, many thanks for the lesson, appreciate!

Sofiane82

    Yes, Sofia, legalese can be very “wordy” :)

    Adam

hi adam.you are doing a fantastic job.pls make a video phrasal verb and expressions with the verb cut and pull or go

DR.RICHI

    I’ll get on it ;)

    Adam

I have a thought that these words could remain in that shape from the germanic origin of English. I mean such german words as damit, dabei, dazu etc, where “da” in German in this context is kind of “that”. The etymology could be interesting.

VadimV

    Hi Vadim,

    Etymology can go a long way in learning a language.

    Adam

Thank you so much for your lesson, it’s quite difficult however i got 8 outta 10 :)

LunaRuth

Hello from Bangladesh!!
Sir,
i want to know about the difference between “i know that” and “i do know that”.
is it about to put some more contrast or something?
Tia
God Bless You

RashedUSBA

    Hi Rashed,

    Adding the do to an active verb is meant to emphasize the verb. Usually it is used when someone might suspect the opposite. For example someone thinks you don’t know, so you correct them and say I do know.

    Does this help?

    Adam

      Yes,sir. Thanks for your prompt response.

      RashedUSBA

I got 10 correct out of 10. I can’n believe it!!! :)

Oleg Kosyak

    Good job Oleg :)

    Adam

9/10!! Wow! I’m happy, given the complexity of the topic!

calibardo

    Good job Calibardo :)

    Adam

Hi Adam. I adore you and your lessons. You are great teacher. Could you explain the different type of use of WOULD? I read some stories where its use in past tense is very often…but sometimes I cannot translate it to myself, especially in complex sentences.Thank you in advance.

Monik2306

    I’ll see what I can do, Monik :)

    Adam

Very interesting this topic

leoballa

Thanks everyone :)

Adam

The discussed topic has its importance in our understanding of an academic paper. The class was difficult for me, indeed, but incontestable useful. Certainly I’ll have to watch it again and use them in my writing countless times to fully comprehend the usage of those words.

Thiago Milcent

You’re a great teacher, Mr Adam. Thanks.
I got 9/10 but, honestly, I don’t know how I did it.
I’ll keep practicing with your help. Looking forward to taking more lessons

Turk182

Sorry Mr.adam, I unable understand this lesson
is it possible to teach any simple way to learn

Ramesh muthusamy

    This is an advanced writing lesson Ramesh. I can speak more simply, but the material won’t change. Try reading some academic essays and you will see these used.

    Adam

it’s a bit difficult to understand the way to use them, but i will listen again, i think it will be useful for me to read the document and newspaper.

tahoa1404

Hey Adam, any opinion on “ergo”?
Do you recommend using it in IELTS writing?

Sina

    Hi Sina,

    It’s old-fashioned. No-one uses this anymore. It sounds a little pretentious. I don’t recommend using it.

    Adam

thanks a lot, Mr Adam
I want to know there are differences between thereby and therefore.
thanks

fawzy1967

Hi Adam,
I got 5 out of 10. Thanks!

Sarah Rocha

I hereby restate that Adam is the best teacher in Engvid.

CyrusKing

I got score 5 out of 10. As legal officer I’m still think this is a lot difficult event though often see it in the contract or agreement or clause of agreement. I should take more test and practice them on my writing skill within drafting such an agreement. Thanks Adam giving this lesson to know more how to put them proper and right way.. keep waiting new video lesson from you!

NesAgnes

Hello adam
You r totally amazing teacher???

Simrn

Thank You, Mr Adam. I got 10/10 on this quiz…

faujikanaukar

Thank you Mr. Adam! Your didactic, timing, subject, quiz, etc, represent a good set of learning tools and resources for all of us. 6/10 without proper study :( need to practice a lot more! Congratulations for a distinct and differentiated work.

fsxavante

Thanks for the awesome lesson.
I’ve observed that “thereby” is mostly followed by (verb+ing) form regardless of whether the sentence takes place in past, future or present. As in this example from the dictionary: “The number of uninsured cars will rise and the cost to the industry will increase, thereby pushing premiums up further.”.

However, I seldom see “thereby” followed by a verb in other forms such as past tense. For example: “This behavior increased demand and thereby pushed prices up still more.”, why isn’t it “pushing up the prices…”. Is either form right,?

hkngrl

Would it be possible to write ‘therefore’ instead of ‘whereby’.If not,could you please explain it!!!

monaim knight

In the question number 2. Will it be – it clear or it clears.

monaim knight

Thank you, Adam. For the first time, I achieved 6/10
thereafter I watched the video again and again then I achieved 9/10

Mehriban A

Hi Adam, thank you because of your greats videos! I’m an intermediate English learner and was thinking about to take a course abroad of about 4 weeks to ground up my English. Is there in Toronto any place that offers this kind of courses?

tux99

Oh wow, I expected I might have scored even less, but 7|10 look pretty good to me with such complicated topic.

Ereadan

Hi Adam,
Thank you so much for the video. After learning from the video, I still confuse of some of them. I am not sure when to use thereby or whereby, therein or wherein. They are similar to me. Could you explain more the difference of them?

lwhnikki

The teacher in this video did a very good job thereby getting all the credit and was able to be understandable. the footage and all details therein; was very well explained by the excellent teacher. The lesson was so sophisticated, especially the words chosen thereof, and was pretty much informative, there is no reason, therefore, we should be confused. he elaborated on each part until we understood it, thereafter, It began simplifying. The video did not show wherein Mr. Adam had done anything wrong, whereby, all of us has benefitted. So given the above circumstances, I hereby declare the lesson was marvelous. How have I done? Please, would you explain the expression “he’s into surfing” or “he is just not that into you”.

    amazing and ‘helpful’ reply. Thank You

    laras

      Thank you Laras, I hope it was helpful.

      Hassan ABS

Hi Adam, the lesson is easier to understand than the quiz, but your explanation is perfect. Maybe ‘practice’ on phrases and examples is the key for improving :)

laras

Adam, you’re doing a good job. Keep up the good work. We’re blessed to have a teacher like you. :)

hood2hoods

Thanks for the lesson Adam. I am preparing for General IELTS and I have a question related to that. When you say these transitions need to be used for academic writing and formal writing, does it mean this is important for General IELTS as well? or it is only for Academic IELTS?

Vinod

Great, thank you. 8/10. I did better than expected. I learned your lesson.

aneckg

I scored 90 in the quiz in first attempt therefore, I need not to take the quiz again.

lubabashahrin

NoorMajed

Wow, I like this this stuff, nonetheless it’s a way over my head, thanks a lot Adam. What Im doing right after I took a video, I shared it with my crew, it helps me to get a better comprehension and give some space to rehash about something that I learned from you.

Thanks a lot dude.

Luis.Hinojos

hi ADAM,
what is the difference between where and wherein

davood645

Hi Adam,
could you please tell me what the differences between transitions and conjunctions?
And is it possible that a word like “since” act both as a conjunction and transition?
Thank you very much for your reply in advance.

mahs1982

kowsar88

Thanks, Adam for your video lesson particularly about the topic Transition.
I felt a bit confused about which letter to choose an answer for each number of your 10-item quiz. It’s difficult, yet challenging. I am happy with my score, though it’s not perfect, but at least I got only three mistakes (not too bad).

EPenaflor

80%….wow
This was definately unexpected.
I hereby declare Adam a great teacher.

Sumaya2019

I hereby declare that the transitions definitely enhance the writing level as long as we use them in the essay.

abdullahcihad

This was a little bit difficult for me, but I really have to learn how to use those words. I study a lot of essays about literature and sometimes I get confused. I think I am going to study one at a time, by reading all the examples of google translator, and thereafter take that quiz again… Thank you!!!

Aphrodite Manousaki

6/10! It’s difficult for me! I confused everything!

Jerry Gu

Thanks a lot for this great lesson. I have a question about question 9. why not therein? Like the sentence, you gave in the lesson, therein also means “in which”?

QueenieP.

Thank you so much! The lesson is very productive!
I have a question about the third sentence: “The new contract does not allow for extended maternity leave; therein lies the problem for union, 60% of whose membership is young women.” Isn’t should be “that/which membership” instead of “whose membership” because “union” doesn’t mean a person or people?

ejorayeva

I believe you absolutely right, but I just want to understand what I am missing. Thanks for your patience!

ejorayeva

Good lesson but dificult. Thanks Adam and if possible speak more slow please.

maleco2007@yahoo.com.br

Do you offer lessons?

Anthonyifemade94

Thanks Sir Adam and to all teachers, after watching Sir Adam video about transition signals on youtube, I decided to visit the website and I never go wrong for signing up. Your videos and short quizzes helped me a lot on my studies, especially on writing essays and improving my grammar.
