Just to be sure I meet your need. Could you please prepare the English version of the lesson you would like to see, and I will convert them to Igbo video lessons. Please post the lessons here in the comment section. Please no more than 10 lines for each lesson. Thank you.
@@IgboVillageSquare Thank you for your reply. My problem is I don't know what the difficulties of Igbo grammar are. So far, It seems quite straight forward but I imagine there are exceptions to the rules. In one of your videos you gave us an overview of the tenses with a very clear explanation. The present, past and future seem clear enough but I don't know whether there are irregular verbs or not. I would like to see videos on the other tenses in the affirmative and negative forms and examples. I've seen that in the present, past and future tenses the negative is formed with the suffix "-ghi" or "-ghị" but in the imperative with the suffix "la". I would like to know what happens in other tenses. I would also love to see a structured course including: -- A set of text/passages/stories (set in Igboland including cultural aspects) restricting to a grammatical tense dealing with particular topic. Including: a) Texts/ passages/stories around a character, let's say Emeka, his family, friends, his house, his village/town, his pastimes, his daily activities (for the present tense), what he did yesterday/at the weekend, what he used to do with his friends/siblings when he was a little boy, what he will do next week, will, what he has done today, etc. Something similar to GCSE language courses. Recorded with your voice so that we could have listening and pronunciation practice. b) Explanation of the grammar (in English) for each passage/stories with other examples and exercises c) questions for each passages/stories in Igbo with your answers in the next video or in a second part of the video so we could practice and check if we have answered correctly. At least 3 videos would be necessary for each topic: one for the text and you reading it, another for the explanation of the grammar and vocabulary and a third one for questions and answers. Example: Emeka is 13 years old. He has a brother and a sister. He is the eldest child in the family and his sister is the youngest. Ikenna, his brother is 11 years old and Isioma, his sister, is 10. Both his parents are 35 years old. His father is tall and a bit fat and his mother is slim and a bit short. Emeka is is tall like his father and slim like his mother. His sister is also slim but his brother is a bit fat. His mother is called Adamma and she is a teacher and his father is called Ejike and he is a musician. I have no doubt that you can do something much better than my text. Thank you again for your explanations which are always clear and detailed and for the very well organised presentation of your material.
Thank you for providing the example. I will reproduce the example in my next video. A structured course like GCSE is a good idea, but I have very limited time at the moment. Hopefully, in the future.
Can you provide the negative form for all of the other tenses as well? Also, I noticed all tenses except Past Perfect, and Present Perfect Continuous is missing. Could you provide a lesson on them? Lastly, is Conditional Perfect the same thing as Past Perfect Continuous? If not, then could you also provide that? Do you have a way to accept donations? I'm very grateful for your lessons and I know a lot of work goes into them...
Thank you for watching the videos. I do not accept monetary donations. However, I'm happy to accept help towards preparing the lessons. So, for your questions, could you please prepare the lessons in English? I will translate your lessons to Igbo and make the videos. Please include the exact examples you want to see. For example, 'I drank water', I will drink water', etc. Please only provide examples that a JSS2 or grade 8 (14 year old child) student can understand. Please limit it to 15 lines per lesson. Please post the lesson as a comment, and I will do the rest.
@@jachimikedenis I can't think of any a situation where they don't apply, so it is uncommon (I added 'almost', because languages do have exceptions). So assume they always apply.
Very clear explanation, thank you.
amazing i love igbo and your videos :)
This was helpful. I have been looking for an explanation like this.
Wow great explanation. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you 😊
You're welcome.
Could you please do videos on each grammatical tense giving examples? Thank you

I have posted one video based on the text above. ruclips.net/video/gPgLJEokigs/видео.html . More will follow.
Are all these tenses spoken in Igbo or just for writing?
Spoken and written
Can you provide the negative form for all of the other tenses as well?
Also, I noticed all tenses except Past Perfect, and Present Perfect Continuous is missing. Could you provide a lesson on them?
Lastly, is Conditional Perfect the same thing as Past Perfect Continuous? If not, then could you also provide that?

do these apply to all verbs are just do and cook?
Yes they apply to all verbs (or almost all the verbs)
@@IgboVillageSquare for the ones that don't apply,are those used in regular conversation or is it uncommon?
@@jachimikedenis I can't think of any a situation where they don't apply, so it is uncommon (I added 'almost', because languages do have exceptions). So assume they always apply.
I think they still have it in question form like o siri ji?, or o mere ya?
Correct
