    Hi! I came across a sentence on BBC News today; I want to know if it’s an inversion.
    The article concerning China’s instant noodle consumption. Here is the sentence: “Be it a snack for students, a meal on the train, or just the go-to choice for hungry workers, more than 46.2 billion packets were sold in China and Hong Kong in 2013.” Thank you for great lessons!

    • @MrSkypelessons
      @MrSkypelessons  6 лет назад +1

      Yes, it is. And it is also subjunctive, so you ought to watch that class to find out why 'be it' is correct.

    • @roseikeda729
      @roseikeda729 6 лет назад

      Never had it dawned on me the idea that is subjunctive. Now I get the sentence as 'It is reported that it should be a snack for students…' This helped me a lot.:) Thank you very much.

    Just to point out, in the second example of the third situation--it's Then Not Than, so it must be 'No sooner had we arrived then dinner was served'. overall, thank you for the quite clear explanation :)

      +AZEDDINE ABDOUSS You'd better tell Cambridge and Oxford university that they are both wrong too. www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/no-sooner-%E2%80%94%E2%80%94-than

      @azeddineabdouss2601 8 лет назад

      +MrSkypelessons You would be a lot more appreciated if you explain to me the use of THAN in this sentence and how it makes sense in this case, whereas to me THEN sounds more natural, and works much better
      .

      +AZEDDINE ABDOUSS Bigger than...smaller than....quicker than....harder than....faster than...longer than....SOONER THAN...........Get it?

    • @azeddineabdouss2601
      @azeddineabdouss2601 8 лет назад

      As a non-native English speaker, I understood it as a continuous related action, in which case my suggestion was 'wrong' because of the comparative word "sooner". Nonetheless, "THAN" was used here for comparing the TIME when both actions occur, the thing which you Failed to explain, but AGAIN overall thank you very much :)

    • @MrSkypelessons

  • @CiociaLilly

    hello :) I would like to ask you how is the tense changing, when we use the inversion "but for" in conditionals.
    Btw, your channel is amazing and helped me a lot to go through grammar. thank you very much !

  • @alkenalken5324

    Your videos are amazing and Really demystifying!! Thanks to you, i can have been improving my skills. Could you please teach about preposition with relative pronoun? I have a problem with composing a sentence in which these pronouns have applied, such as, of which, in which, on which, to which. I believe, you will easily example it.

  • @teena6051
    @teena6051 5 лет назад

    Dear sir, please tell me whether it is grammatically correct to say " my laziness prevented me to do so" I feel it should be either " my laziness prevented me from doing so" Or " my laziness prevented my doing so." . I should also like to know whether there are alternative constructions used to express the same idea. Thank you.

  • @ratchadaphuchong8106
    @ratchadaphuchong8106 6 лет назад

    I would like to ask about "no sooner". Would it be possible to use it without using "than"? Ex. No sooner had I arrived the train station, the train left. Or we can only use "No sooner had I arrived the train station than the train left. Another question is that can the above sentence be replaced by "Hardly had I arrive the train station when the train left"?

    There is a question in my mind
    Q1 can we use inversion in subordinate clauses.
    Original sentence:-
    1) This is the time when my bike is there .
    "Inversion" in subordinate clause like this:-
    This is the time when "there" is my bike.
    Q1) in Inverted Sentence :-
    Is "THERE" word still adverb of place
    Q1)sir this Inverted Subordinate Clause is correct or incorrect
    If this is incorrect
    Please tell me why it is wrong..

    I always puzzle my brain with sentences containing infinitives with to, when it comes to parallelism. For example: I want to drink and dance. Should I put TO before DANCE or it's already perfectly structured without it?

    • @曾黎俊
      @曾黎俊 5 лет назад +1

      Дарья П. I want to drink, dance and sing is ok, and I want to drink, to dance and to sing is also ok. But I want to drink, to dance and sing isn’t ok. Because it’s not parallel between to drink, to dance and sing. I hope it’s useful for you.

    • @robthomas43
      @robthomas43 7 лет назад

      We want to use 'past perfect simple' to clearly demonstrate which action happened first and past simple to demonstrate that this action happened closer the present (or after the first.) ALSO, without the auxiliary verb you can't use inversion, and 'NO SOONER.... THAN' is an expression only used with inversion therefore making the auxiliary essential.

    • @Melkirapsy
      @Melkirapsy 7 лет назад

      Teacher, you said in one of the lectures on past perfect ' You need some past simple verbs really. There is MOST be some past simple moment'
      I cant see any past simple parts in these sentences '

    • @MrSkypelessons
      @MrSkypelessons  7 лет назад

      I never said 'there is most be some past simple moments'. I said 'there must be a past simple verb for a past perfect verb to make sense.' This means that when you see past perfect, you will also find past simple in one of the previous sentences.
