    One thing I like in your methodology is that you are never "glued" to a blackboard ....I think this is excellente because you kind of " force" us to listen to you attentively, reading your lips, and we have the subtitles to study afterwards , listening to you. You are a genious.

    What makes it efficacious is that we learn the native texture of the language from the native speakers. In some instances, non-native speakers commit the prepositional errors, because of vernacular impact and they certainly get clarified when attending to your classes. More significantly, there is a double advantage in this programme, as we are truly enabled to gain the contents and to understand the manner of articulation by the native speakers. Great thanks to Great Teacher. So nice of you Sir.(Ravi)

    I like your lessons very much, Gideon. I'd like to suggest some sentence patterns for your students or pupils here:
    S - IV (Subject - Intransitive Verb) e.g. Dogs run.
    S - TV - DO (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object) e.g. Chris tutors Jennifer.
    S - TV - 10 - DO (Subject - Transitive Verb - Indirect Object Direct Object)
    e.g. The instructor assigned Steve poetry.
    S - LV - PN (Subject - Linking Verb - Predicate Noun)
    e.g. She was the office manager.
    S - LV - Adj. (Subject - Linking Verb - Predicate Adjective)
    e.g. Roses smell delightful.
    S - TV - DO - OC (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object Object Complement)
    e.g. Joan considered Will her friend.
    S - TV - DO - AC (Subject - Transitive Verb - Direct Object Adjective Complement)
    e.g. Mr. Anderson painted the house green.

    @svenjahnsen3381 Год назад +1

    Dear Gideon
    You mix up the terms "question" and "indirectr question" and the terms "relative pronoun" and "indirect interrogative pronoun". An interrogative sentence is i.e. "Who is she?" and an indirect interrogative sentence could be "I want to know who he is". (Notice the question mark in the first example). A relative clause could be "I know a fellow w h o i s g o o d a t G e r m a n".
