This video is very useful to people like me who uses english as a second language. Thank you mam, your explanation is very clear and easy to understsnd. Very nice presentation. I am motivated to create my own channel because of you. Thank you very much.
Little tip for people that got confused on verb agreement stuff. Usually the subject has “the” before the subject, not counting the Matt and his friend sentence she showed.
To Divine Rod: It's easy. Take a sentence and ask "who does what?" The "who" would be a subject. The "does what" is a predicate. The skyscraper rises over the river. Who/what does what? The skyscraper does something. The skyscraper is a subject. Does what? Rises. Rises is a predicate.A bit harder now. Over the river a skyscraper rises. We have two nouns. Which I c a subject? Who does what? The river does nothing. The skyscraper does - it rises. The skyscraper is a subject (again).Hope it helps unless you are talking about more confusing examples.
I think it's just because the "like-a-guy" group/mentality tends to be publicly shunned in the internet society, while "flirty" comments have been accepted due to the fact that a lot of females tend to like the attention flirting gives. Why that is, I don't know.
13:43 just so y'all know this is now incorrect(as it's from 2015). The word "their" now has the added definition of "belonging to or associated with a person of unspecified sex." So the sentence would be grammatically correct.
Someone is singular. His or her is singular. - Pronoun- noun agreement Their is plural. You need a plural subject/noun. - goes back to pronoun- noun agreement. Hoped that helped! 👌🏽
It’s informative video for me. Please I have question which I am not finding any excuses for use comma with no coordinating in some example. These sentences I cited from email which I have received from yahoo news , so it must be corrected I guess. Please , can you tell me what the excuses here for not using any coordinating conjunction here ? 1- A San Diego grand jury indicted the Hunters for allegedly using campaign accounts to pay for their children's private school tuition, lavish travel including restaurant meals that frequently cost hundreds of dollars. 2-The indictment alleges the Hunters lied about how the money was spent, with the couple saying it went to charity or campaign events when prosecutors said it was really used for groceries, restaurant meals and clothing. 3-Hunter appeared to blame his wife for the violations in an interview with Fox News last year, saying he gave Margaret power of attorney when he was deployed to Iraq as a marine in 2003, and that she oversaw his campaign finances.
I know you said that the act never uses a comma with the "and" situation. Ex I like beans, cheese, and, fruit too. I like beans, cheese, and fruit too. But the last time I took the act I found a problem like this. I don't understand which would be correct
A better way to rephrase would be "The game was over, but my friend refused to leave before getting Lebron's autograph." The word 'but' normally comes after a comma because it acts as a break in the sentence flow. Hope this helps
"their" is a singular gender neutral pronoun and so would be acceptable in at least the somebody shoe example. the second example I'm not sure, it may be acceptable but "its" would be a better option for the IRS.
Because since the word "skyscrapers" is the plural subject that means we need plural verb. "Rise" is a plural verb; on the other hand, "rises" is singular. The thing to remember is: usually a singular verb will end in an "s" not the other way around. For ex. 1. Mathematics (singular subject) is (singular verb) my fav class. 2. Every day (singular subject) passes (singular verb) faster each day. Here both singular verbs end in "-s". Now let's take a look again at plural subjects + plural verbs for ex. 1. You & John (because You, John are connected w/ the word "and" then "You & John" is all a plural subject) are (plural verb) invited to come to my house 2. Dan & Bob (plural subject) call (plural verb) home. Anyway, just remember SINGULAR VERBS end in "s" and PLURAL SUBJECTS can end in "s" or are connected w/ "and". Good luck to you, hope this helps!
Norma Salas why are u typing long responses to random people asking for help, do u just go around the web helping people in the comments but thanks for the help
So here's why commas can mess you over here, *face zoom in* , you see you actually need to place them before FANBOYS, so then you have to *face zoom out* remember to use them.
This made my score go up 5 points trust her
Thanks. Hopefully it works for me.
I get super confused on singular and plural grammar rules and this really helped me out! Taking the ACT tomorrow, wish me luck 😭

1 year latter…
This video is a decade old, but these tips seem on point, i just hope the grammar portion of the test has not changed much since then.
It hasn’t. It’s the same. Same concepts, same test questions you’ll see.
Konnie Suggs thanks
Thankyou very helpful ;)
Excellent lesson! Thank you very much.
So with the sign it should say
“Employees must wash their hands”
Not “Employees must wash hands”
I mean, it's been shortened for conciseness. Ya gotta cut corners somehow, right?

Very helpful
Thank you! I've always hated modifiers!
i wish i could hit 100k likes , excellent teaching , and now my confidence is sky high
13:43 just so y'all know this is now incorrect(as it's from 2015). The word "their" now has the added definition of "belonging to or associated with a person of unspecified sex." So the sentence would be grammatically correct.
Dang it, colleges r sooo woke
Legend has it John is still wearing his duffle bag.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! :)
You're the best English tutor
This is worth watching
New teacher! Yay
Thank you this was very helpful
You were soo helpful
Thank’s for the tip
at 13:57 please someone tell me,,, cant his/her be replaced with their so it would still be correct?
Someone is singular. His or her is singular. - Pronoun- noun agreement
Their is plural. You need a plural subject/noun. - goes back to pronoun- noun agreement.
Hoped that helped! 👌🏽
She’s pretty.
its perfect
I have trouble identifying the subjects of the sentences.
this is very helpful.
Nice video, thanks :)
Thank you. I'm enrolled in EGUMPP but need a better resource to learn so I found this helpful.

Not bad. Nice. Thanks👍🏻

Why does Sam’s dvd get an apostrophe ? Isn’t the apostrophe’s s standing in for is?

I wish you were my English teacher ! You explain things so well
I’m stuck at a 26 for English and I’m really hoping for a 30
Ima get a 30 on my english! 👌🏽
Anything that comes after "of" can't be the subject. Not knowing this will make the subject verb agreement questions seem like a guessing game.
Justin Scott omg yes

Everyone is singular
Are these all the English punctuation & grammar rules
Ty! ur bomb btw
I’m having a hard time understanding skyscraper example sentence. 😢
the skyscrapers are what's rising, not the river. since there are multiple skyscrapers, the verb must be plural
I like
It's= it is, it has, it was
it was = 'twas

Always go for the comma being there if you must choose.

The game was over. But my friend refused to leave before getting Lebron's autograph. Are these both sentences? A sentence can start with but?
A better way to rephrase would be "The game was over, but my friend refused to leave before getting Lebron's autograph." The word 'but' normally comes after a comma because it acts as a break in the sentence flow. Hope this helps
"their" is a singular gender neutral pronoun and so would be acceptable in at least the somebody shoe example. the second example I'm not sure, it may be acceptable but "its" would be a better option for the IRS.

Ok 'so I under'stand
Why is it at 12:11 the skyscrapers rise instead of rises shouldn't it be plural?
Lara S I guess rises isn't plural then???? That one was weird.
Just think about it, do skyscrapers rise, or do they rises?
Because since the word "skyscrapers" is the plural subject that means we need plural verb. "Rise" is a plural verb; on the other hand, "rises" is singular. The thing to remember is: usually a singular verb will end in an "s" not the other way around. For ex. 1. Mathematics (singular subject) is (singular verb) my fav class.
