    I think the example in 1:44 is a complex sentences made up of two clauses, so it is not just one clause.

    • @LynettePretoriusMonash
      @LynettePretoriusMonash  2 года назад

      The example at that time is a single clause, but it is a long one. "The research demonstrates that" isn't a complete dependent clause, which is why it is just one long clause. I will note though, that the sentence would also make sense if it was just "The new vaccine effectively eliminates viral load in patients".

    Hello
    I wanted to ask something
    *A clause is a group of words which has a subject and a finite verb*
    Is this correct👆

    • @LynettePretoriusMonash
      @LynettePretoriusMonash  4 года назад +7

      Clauses usually include both a subject and a verb yes. The difference between an independent and dependent clause relates to whether the clause can be a sentence on its own. For example the clause "The student won the prize" is an independent clause - it contains both a subject and a verb and can stand on its own as a sentence. In contrast, the clause "because she worked hard" is a dependent clause - it also contains a subject and a verb, but it is not able to be a sentence on its own. When you combine the independent and dependent clause together, you get a complex sentence: "The student won the prize because she worked hard".

    Madam, I have a doubt, that is; what is the difference between ' Compare to ' and ' Compare with ' ? Please try to tell me about it. I hope you will try to reply as soon as possible. I will be looking forward to your reply.

    • @LynettePretoriusMonash
      @LynettePretoriusMonash  5 лет назад +4

      Usually you use "compared to" when you are comparing one thing to something else that is different (e.g. Compared to Shakespeare, my essay is... ). You use "compared with" when you are comparing one thing with something that is similar (e.g. We compared our results with the results from previous studies and found...). You can see more examples here: www.dailywritingtips.com/compared-to-or-compared-with/

      @LynettePretoriusMonash  2 года назад +1

      Hi. The sentence you presented is not a complex sentence, it is a simple sentence consisting of a subject and predicate - "why she cried" is the subject of the sentence and "is still a mystery" is a predicate.

    Hello, dear Lynette, thanks for your explanation. I would like to know how we could join two clauses with neither .. nor as I cannot find any examples neither on Google nor on RUclips. all websites give examples where joining two parts of a sentence like I have written here, only. Thanks again...

    • @LynettePretoriusMonash
      @LynettePretoriusMonash  4 года назад +1

      Hi Aysel, you usually use neither and nor together to join two things in a sentence that are not true or that did not happen. For example: Neither the dog nor the cat ate their food. You can also use neither by itself, for example: Neither dog chased the ball. In this case "neither" literally means not either.

    • @iceilgar8105
      @iceilgar8105 4 года назад

      ​@@LynettePretoriusMonash Thank you. As far as I understood, neither nor only joins two sentence parts, not two clauses.
