Infinitive, Gerund, Participle phrases all start with a non-finite verb. this is something that may help you students. Keep that great work dear professor. I've learned a lot with you.
I'm really pleased with this video; i've saved it so i can study over and over again. Your videos are laid out in a way that is good for making sense . Thanks ; i'm 76 and loving learning using your videos.
Thank you, sir. Your video is very informative. All I have known before this video is phrases helps with increasing reading speed and understanding the meaning. Now, I know that it is also useful in writing: put phrases in the order (front, middle, end) in which they convey writers' idea .
Hi Adam! Having watched this video,I can say it was an amazing video.That is because,expressing thoughts in those ways stands one head and shoulder above the rest. Appreciated.
This is an outstanding session. I gained a basic knowledge on the phrases and usage of phrases. I m from Sri Lanka. Thank you much and for your amazing explanation. Regards
It is such a nice explanation which dispels the confusion.i am naive in english and trying to understand it for exam writing and as well as for knowledge.if possible,please guide me to improve it,thanks sir.
Hi Adam. First of all, this is a phenomenal and complete explanation about phrases that I have seen. Besides, I think you are the best English teacher having seen. So thank you very much. I have a question about the gerund phrase and infinitive phrase. How can I recognize when I use them? And if I reduced the noun clause, would it change to gerund or infinitive phrase?
Hi Adam. Thanks for all useful tips. I love your lessons and I am a big fan of yours :) I'm taking toefl exam this month. I'm trying to improve my writing. But everytime when I try to write my sentences are simple-for me maybe-. Being simple is good or do I have to try to write more complicated and difficult sentences?
Thank you Adam! A question edged my mind that I got from this video lesson. A phrase, without considering whether they are a noun, preposition or any other phrase, can act as many types of phrase. For instance, the sentence " With playing football, you can remain healthy." The first part is a prepositional phrase as well as a gerund one, isn't it?
@@gravitonium6012 yes,that is why football is object of either gerund or present participle by still functionality of verb by having football as object of it.
Dear Mr. Adam, thank you very much for this video. It is really rich with information concerning many different things in just one video. Now, my question is why the clause (these young people.... pursuits) is not the main clause? It is an independent one, right? 2. (Considering the level of apathy... century) is an absolute phrase having an Appositive inside, right? 3. ( many researchers .... sociology) is a noun phrase. I wonder if you would like to post other few examples of such complex clauses later on. Thanks again for your time.
HI, Adam, your video is always inspiring. Thank you. I get a question about "Dangling Modifier". Someone told me that, in this sentence "Based on the information currently available, the group expects to record a profit of no less than $1 million", there is no dangling modifier as the "Based on", which is a past participle, is not modifying the noun, that is "the group", but the verb "expects" or the whole clause "the group expects.......". From my understanding, present participle phrase and past participle phrase put at the beginning are always adjectival phrases which modify the subject coming in the next sentence. They could be adverbial phrases when we put "while", "by", etc. before them. However, in my example "Based on the information currently available, the group expects to record a profit of no less than $1 million", no words stand before "Based on". I am really confused about whether there is a dangling modifier or not. Hope I could have your generous answer. Thank you.
Hi Adam, thank you for the lesson. could you tell me how to recognize ing form of the verb (gerund or participle) after these (AFTER, WITHOUT...) Because they are sometimes prepositions, adverbs and conjunctions. I only know about how to recognize them as conjunctions. if it were a conjunction, there would be 2 clauses. Eg: The man was taken to the hospital after a car hit him.(conjunction) Eg: The man was taken to the hospital after being hit by a car. (???) (Is the word 'after' a preposition or an adverb? Is the word 'being' a gerund or participle?) If 'after, without' followed by verb+ing, is it always a gerund or a participle? And the other question is what is the grammar structure of [NOT+ verb+ing]? Can I write [NOT+ base verb] in a sentence? Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
Hello great teacher!. I hope you can clear my logic. Why if a 'noun' by definition are words that name people, places, things or ideas , then we can say that a 'phrase or a dependent clause' can act as noun ? Is it because a phrase or a noun dependent clause as a group name an idea ? Hope you can help me understand this concept better. thank you in advance
Dear Mr.Adam, Thank you for all your efforts. A question related to Prepositional phrases: I did my best to memorize the uses of all preposition but I am still confused about them.I also tried to memorize the words with its prepositions but I have realized that such a way doesn't work to master overall prepositions! Could you recommend me a method in order to solve this problem ?
Hello Adam' I requested, oh ! no no' actually you suggested that you'll make a video on action and activity someday. It's been 3 months. I'm desperately waiting for that video. Please make it soon.
Hi Adam , first of all I really like the way you are when explaning the lessons. I want to ask you something. I am an advanced English learner but my problem is how to be proficient in English. How can I reach that level ; being able to understand any text regardless its background, whether it is economic , religious, political,or related to law ,even medicine . I am waiting for your answer .
Hello Adam. Thank you for your awesome videos. Would you come up with your video specific on individual phrases such as Absolute or any of the other types soon. I have seen your participial phrases from you already. In the mean time, could you pls help me distinguish between noun phrase and appositive phrase. From what I can capture: they are both made of a noun + modifier. Noun phrase: works as subject, object or complement and Appositive phrase: functions as adjective. Noun phrase working as complement isn't the same thing as adjective ? Maybe this is my confusion... what do you mean when you say complement ? subject complement, complement to a verb( not the main verb), complement to a noun ? thanks
very confused..............what about phrases with comma in a sentence Mr. adam............how are we puntuate a comma in a sentence when it has a phrase and clause too.
As for me too much terminology, and little sentence examples. I am not clever enough to rephrasing the sentences even in my mother tune. And I dare to say that my language has reacher literature than that English language. However, I am aware of the importance of the topic you lectured.
my boss's daughter Linda................was that sentence is a phrase or a sentence.........because the sentence was hired to lead the project doesn't have a subject..........

For instance, the sentence " With playing football, you can remain healthy." The first part is a prepositional phrase as well as a gerund one, isn't it?
No. You are not correct .
If you take with out ,it is left playing football as present participle not a gerund since gerund cannot modify noun.
@@phumkiatwananuraksakul7815 but technically, a noun can be an object ? I wonder what is correct answer for this.
@@gravitonium6012 yes,that is why football is object of either gerund or present participle by still functionality of verb by having football as object of it.

Because they are sometimes prepositions, adverbs and conjunctions. I only know about how to recognize them as conjunctions. if it were a conjunction, there would be 2 clauses.

And the other question is what is the grammar structure of [NOT+ verb+ing]? Can I write [NOT+ base verb] in a sentence?
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.

Thanks Adam, you are a excellent teacher.

Yes, Simmy, thank you for the correction.
Can you please suggest names of online news papers/magazines where various types of sentence structure are used?
Hi! Does a participial make a simple sentence into a complex one?
Plzz also share, adjective and adverb phrases
Excellent

How do we use the comma with participle phrases?
Dear Mr.Adam, Thank you for all your efforts.
A question related to Prepositional phrases: I did my best to memorize the uses of all preposition but I am still confused about them.I also tried to memorize the words with its prepositions but I have realized that such a way doesn't work to master overall prepositions! Could you recommend me a method in order to solve this problem ?
When you learn new words, learn them as collocations. You will soon become familiar with how prepositions are used.
That's absolutely right. When reading, you learn vocabulary in its proper use.

Jill bought the dress at the shop.............that's not a phrase.............it has subject and verb in it...........
As for me too much terminology, and little sentence examples. I am not clever enough to rephrasing the sentences even in my mother tune. And I dare to say that my language has reacher literature than that English language. However, I am aware of the importance of the topic you lectured.
Works
my boss's daughter Linda................was that sentence is a phrase or a sentence.........because the sentence was hired to lead the project doesn't have a subject..........
you said phrase doesn't have subject and verb...............why does the car that I bought has subject and verb
It's a noun phrase (the car that I bought ) that has an adjectival clause (that I bought ) inside it
the high school basketball coach was fired.................why it is a phrase but isn't clause??? it has verb was fired???
