Hello! This lesson, which I’m listening to, is great. 2) some English words, which I try to memorise, is very difficult to pronounce. 3. I like read books which is interesting. 4. I like This car that is very reliable. I’d like to go to this restaurant that is so fancy
Excellent, quality lessons. Always explained in a transparent, professional way. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to raise the understanding of English language to a higher level. Thanks a lot ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I knew "that" referring to things or animals and "who" only to humans. "Which" would be "il quale" in Italian "la qual cosa" but I think it's often interchangeable with "what". Whose "di cui" "di cosa". It refers to something that "belongs to". I also would have written "to whom" ... But I have also noticed that many people tend to use "who" instead and the use of "whom" is enough rare.
You're really really Something Sir.I do get benefitted by your teaching.The way you talk is almost most of times clearly Understandable....I really do get to learn a lot about English via your Really Useful and Effective English Sir......Mu goal is to speak English just like you.
Sir your efforts are really good and appreciated. I request you cordially that please make a video about....Could, might, and would and difference against can, may and will. I am totally ignorant about and unable of its proper use of these.
Well explained !! You have stressed upon the important block that sets the English communication going in all its requirements !! Many people especially students,use these pronouns inappropriately.In this regard,you have helped very cordially and eloquently !! Thank you !! ❤️❤️❤️
Good. I tried the quiz but got few mistakes. I think i need to watch the lessons again for better understanding. Quite confusing. Anyway, thanks Wes for teaching this lesson.
Hi Wes. Thank you for the lesson. You used same sentences so many times.That help me to memorize a lot of sentences.I believe reputation is one of the most important aspects in learning other languages. Please say hi to your wife and your cutie,Emi🙆. Have a good one! Ikuo Suenaga from Japan.
Warm greetings from Siberia Russia. Thank so much ❤. thank you very much for the english lesson❤. Grammar is always difficult for me, and even though I study English from school in Russia😢. Maybe I don't have much practice in speaking and reading in English and therefore I feel insecure😅. for your today's lesson, my suggestion: I decided to cook a brownie with pumpkin, which is one of the symbols of Halloween (maybe not quite right and that's why I'm a little nervous😅😅😂😂😢)
They are both correct, depending upon the context. 'During' suggests that you are speaking about a continuous action that occurred in a specific interim: 'During my days teaching, I was continuously frustrated by students' tardiness' suggests that this is a continual frustration that happened many times over the interval. 'In those days teaching, I was frustrated by students' tardiness' is subtly different in the way it engages our understanding of time: This phrasing suggests that you are taking a broad view of a specific point in time. FWIW: I hold a PhD in English and have been a university professor of English Literature in the USA, though I'm not sure why I'm being suggested this channel.
Regarding last sentence, I had thought 'that' was the answer as my reasoning was that they are pointing out specifically that particular gym and not another one there might be in the same neighbourhood or anywhere else in the city.
Amazing Lesson Wes! Now I better remember the rules, WHICH I’ve learnt many years ago 😂 You have amazing teaching skills! Which is why I subscribed to your channel! 👏🏼👊🏼
Hello sir, The shirt, which you are wearing now, is looking nice on you. Sir which category below mentioned sentence falls into? The way you teach us is easy to understand.
Thank you for your valuable time and great explanation. I would like to know if it is appropriate to use pronoun "it" if the author is unknown. For example, Does the author buy any cereals? A. No, it doesn't buy B.Yes, it buys C. Sometimes buys D. No information in the text Thank you for your answer in advance
Dear Professor, Is the comma correctly used here (before "that")? Example from Longman Dictionary Dumbbell: Two weights connected by a short bar, that you can lift to strengthen your arms and shoulders. Best regards, Antoine Ghannom
Simon is my friend. He works in London. Hello! I have to combine these two sentences using a defining relative clause. It's a grammar exercise. I would say: Simon is my friend who works in London. Is that correct? Thanks a lot for you help!
Respected sir, you are earnestly entreated to join the following relative clause -He has a duty to do.The duty is difficult.(Join with a Relative pronoun)
@@InteractiveEng Revered sir,if answer the question in the following way-He has a task to do, which is difficult/He has a task which is difficult to do, would the answers be correct from the grammatical point of view?
Sir, in my estimation you are the finest grammarian I have ever seen on RUclips.Do please crystallise my vague ideas into transparent ones.I find it very difficult to figure out why you didn't make any mention of the word"difficult".
Which verb will use after the "Where" because I have seen many articles on internet "where" and "when" use as subject (relative pronoun) Beacause after "where" it has no any subject How to decide १ This is the place where is /are not allowed to take pictures. 2। I want to visit where is/are famous. Please reply 🙂🙂
This video seems to imply that the Bernard Shaw sentence below would be better if it had used “that” rather than “which”. But I think the sentence is fine just the way it is. “We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one which we preach but do not practise, and another which we practise but seldom preach.”
Really good videos, and I got a quick Q: can I say “I don’t know the man whom you were talking to? ”😅(which just leave the preposition at the end of the sentence?)
Note that punctuation and pauses may indicate which pronoun to use. Let's look at these sentences and situations: 1 *You should join the gym, WHICH is five minutes away.* (NOTE: There is a comma, indicating a pause.) >> In this sentence, the phrase "is five minutes away" simply adds information that is not necessary, so the phrase is non-restrictive, therefore use "which". 2 *You should join the gym THAT is five minutes away rather than the one THAT is twenty minutes away.* (NOTE: There is NO comma.) >> This sentence refers to more than one gym and you want to indicate a specific one, so the pronoun should be restrictive, therefore use "that". 3 This will need the context of a conversation: Question: Should I join the gym that is five minutes away or the one that is twenty minutes away? Answer: *You should join the gym THAT is five minutes away.* (NOTE: There is NO comma.) >> Don't let this confuse you. Your answer does not (and does not need to) repeat all the choices--they are *implied by the question* just asked, so grammatically this is the same situation as in example 2 (above). You want to indicate a specific gym, so the pronoun should be restrictive, therefore use "that".

Sir Could you plz clarify MY confusion about these two phrases--- During those days or In those days,which one is perfectly correct to use,Sir????
They are both correct, depending upon the context. 'During' suggests that you are speaking about a continuous action that occurred in a specific interim: 'During my days teaching, I was continuously frustrated by students' tardiness' suggests that this is a continual frustration that happened many times over the interval. 'In those days teaching, I was frustrated by students' tardiness' is subtly different in the way it engages our understanding of time: This phrasing suggests that you are taking a broad view of a specific point in time. FWIW: I hold a PhD in English and have been a university professor of English Literature in the USA, though I'm not sure why I'm being suggested this channel.

Hi , I have a question for u . In this sentence, I just wanted u to know that baby you are the best ~ "that" as a relative clause or what is that ?
In this case, I believe 'that' is a conjunction (not a pronoun) and could possibly be omitted. 👍
@@InteractiveEng aww thanks, i hoped so 🥰
@@InteractiveEng conjusction and relative clause are the same thngs ?
Good explanation 👍
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment. 😊
Dear Professor,
Is the comma correctly used here (before "that")?
Example from Longman Dictionary
Dumbbell: Two weights connected by a short bar, that you can lift to strengthen your arms and shoulders.

How about disappear words who-which-that, which normally happen a lot?
Note that punctuation and pauses may indicate which pronoun to use. Let's look at these sentences and situations:
1 *You should join the gym, WHICH is five minutes away.* (NOTE: There is a comma, indicating a pause.)
>> In this sentence, the phrase "is five minutes away" simply adds information that is not necessary, so the phrase is non-restrictive, therefore use "which".
2 *You should join the gym THAT is five minutes away rather than the one THAT is twenty minutes away.* (NOTE: There is NO comma.)
>> This sentence refers to more than one gym and you want to indicate a specific one, so the pronoun should be restrictive, therefore use "that".
3 This will need the context of a conversation:
Question: Should I join the gym that is five minutes away or the one that is twenty minutes away?
Answer: *You should join the gym THAT is five minutes away.* (NOTE: There is NO comma.)
>> Don't let this confuse you. Your answer does not (and does not need to) repeat all the choices--they are *implied by the question* just asked, so grammatically this is the same situation as in example 2 (above). You want to indicate a specific gym, so the pronoun should be restrictive, therefore use "that".
